Cake making methods • Creaming • Rubbing–in • Melting • Whisking
Rubbing -in (More flour than fat) • Air is trapped in the sieving the flour and by lightly (with finger tips) rubbing the fat in to the flour. • Raising agents in the flour help the cake to rise rock cakes scone fruit cake
Melting (High proportion of sugar ingredients) • Fat and sugar ingredients are melted in a saucepan • Texture tends to be much heavier than other cakes and wont rise much • Bicarbonate of soda can be used to create a lighter texture ginger bread chocolate brownie
Creaming(Traditional and all-in-one) (Half or more than half fat to flour) • Air is trapped by creaming the sugar and fat together • This give a lighter texture victoria sponge fairy cakes
Whisking(No fat. Short life as this relies on air trapped by the whisk) • Eggs and sugar whisked together to trap air (aerate) swiss roll sponge flan
