Calibre Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Oooh. I might have to ask. I'm not the best at baking, so I'm a little leery. On a level of 1 to Should Not Attempt if You're Not a Baker, how hard is this? Baking, in general, is just culinary science. Biggest thing I can say, in my experiences, about baking is this: dry ingredients like flour should be poured into the measuring cup. Don't just take the cup, shove it into the bag and measure. The flour gets packed into the cup and you end up with too much flour. 2 Quote Chris // Sorcerer Trainee Current Challenge: Calibre Goes Into The Mystic Realm "There's no one I'd rather be than me." -- Wreck-It Ralph 2019 Weight Progress: 320.2 (Down 1.8) 3.18.19 Link to post

Kagetsukai Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Oooh. I might have to ask. I'm not the best at baking, so I'm a little leery. On a level of 1 to Should Not Attempt if You're Not a Baker, how hard is this? I'll try to remember to post it when I get home tonight. It uses a boxed cake as base, so it's really super easy. The awesome part is the glaze that is filled with run, the cake itself gets drunk 2 Quote Link to post

Bast Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Team Elf has gained one (1) Booze Bundter. I am sooo gonna have to ask... Mayyyyyyyybe I'll start handing out special titles "to keep" (like raptron's) to people who really shine in the minis? Thoughts? hmmm...how does one "shine" a drunken cake?

lucky fire dragon Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Baking, in general, is just culinary science. Biggest thing I can say, in my experiences, about baking is this: dry ingredients like flour should be poured into the measuring cup. Don't just take the cup, shove it into the bag and measure. The flour gets packed into the cup and you end up with too much flour. which is why we measure flour and things in weight, not volume Another hint: if you start a dough with beating butter soft, it is well worth beating the butter real soft (although don't melt in pot that changes everything) and again when adding eggs, whereas not stirring/beating too long when you add the flour/other dry ingredients. Just enough to have it mixed well but no longer. In this way the cake will be juicy and have a lighter texture.Mmmh love baking and haven't in a long time. Will actually do that today for hubby's birthday tomorrow. Won't give him drunken cake to take to work - although the results might be interesting - will bake him these rather: delicious chocolaty dough with cherries baked in, topped with a custardy, butter cream layer and then covered with molten chocolate on top, yumBest part: kitchen machine will do most work for me, I get to do the savoring Better work my butt off in the mine battle to compensate 7 Quote Level 18 Wood-Elf Assassin battle log: counting the good things current challenge: something, nothing, all the things previous challenges: 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 How cool is it that the same God who created mountains and oceans and galaxies looked at you and thought the world needed one of you, too Link to post
