How To Make Cake

Setting Up the Cooking Equipment

Make sure you have a basic oven at home; keep it fully preheated at 350F before you are ready to put the cake in the oven. Your cake may be left with moisture and slimy consistency or might dry up and become rock solid if you keep the oven too cold or too hot, respectively. Use a thermometer to make sure you are doing the right thing. Make sure to put the cake inside the oven only when you think your oven has been perfectly preheated.

Since we will be making a round cake of size 9x2 inches, getting the right size of the pan is quite essential. Using a pan or cooker of any sort might result in a cracked cake or a bad consistency of your cake. By convention, it is advised to carefully fill the pan to 2/3 of its height; doing otherwise might result in your cake getting out of the pan while the batter is heating inside the oven itself. One can always choose to make smaller cupcakes as a side treat for the baker themselves or for the kids.

Using a butter paper before placing the batter inside is essential to ensure smooth removal of the ready-to-eat cake from the pan once it's ready. Without butter paper, the cake may stick to the surface of the pan and result in the destruction of your cake.

Leave the cake in the pan itself for an hour or two so it can cool down properly. Once it has been cooled, you can carefully remove the cake from the pan using a spatula and remove the butter from the top once it's been out. You don't need it anymore.

Baking Ingredients

Make sure all the cooking ingredients are at room temperature before they are ready to be cooked. Use proper scaling when measuring the required quantity. For best results, use a measuring cup specific to baking cakes, which comes in different sizes of 5 different spoons (usually).

When you are mixing your ingredients, make sure that you don't overdo the process. You just need to mix the ingredients until they are evenly distributed. Doing more or less will lead to a bad consistency of the cake batter.

You will require a total of 170 grams of sweet chocolate for this cake, which provides the right amount of cocoa for all the people to like. Since some like dark chocolate and the kids especially like brown chocolate, this will bring out the right amount of cocoa powder for people across all age groups to find this cake utterly delicious.

How To Make Cake

Making the Cake

In order to get nice and equal layers of chocolate cake, make sure you divide the batter into two equal quantities and pour them separately into 2 different pans to 2/3rd of the height of the pan. After that, place both the pans into the preheated oven with a gap of at least 2 inches between the pans. There are some signs by which you can know that your cake is actually done; you can take a toothpick and insert it into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out all clean and dry, that means the batter has been cooked perfectly till the center of the cake. Once that's been done, take out the cake, decorate it as per your liking, or serve it to your loved ones, and have a healthy and hygienic dessert.
