How to make a moist cake?

To make a moist, tender and rich butter cake:

  • Always swift the dry ingredients at least 3 times for the light and airy texture.
  • Beat the butter and sugar at high speed for a couple of minutes till it is light and fluffy. At this stage, it’s ok even if you beat it for a longer time.
  • Always use room temperature ingredients.
  • Once you add the eggs, mix till it incorporates well. Do not overbeat.
  • This cake is baked at a low temperature (160 Degrees Celsius / 325 Degrees Fahrenheit) compared to the usual (175 Degrees Celsius / 350 Degrees Fahrenheit).

Baking a cake at slightly lower temperatures has a couple of advantages. The cake doesn’t brown quickly and cooks evenly, plus the texture is softer.

My mom always bakes at a lower temperature, and the texture is always super soft.

Baking powder

Salt

Butter

Sugar

Eggs

Vanilla extract (Use a good quality)

Milk

Difference between a pound cake and a butter cake

A pound cake is traditionally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. There are many variations of these traditional cakes these days.

A butter cake uses much less butter, compared to the pound cake and the texture is beautiful.

How to get flat cakes?

Do not open the oven door while its baking or else the cake will sink in the middle.

To bake a perfectly flat cake, use a baking strip. These strips are available at craft stores like Joanna, Micheals, Tavola or where you get baking supplies.

To make your DIY baking strip, cut a strip of cotton kitchen towel, soak it in water and squeeze the extra water out. Wrap it around the cake pan and secure it with a pin. Keep a close eye if you are using a DIY cake strip for the 1st time.

How do you decorate a plain cake?

  • I like to add a light dusting of powdered sugar.
  • You can also cut shapes on paper for different occasions e.g: Stars for Christmas, Moon for Ramadan, Lamps for Diwali or some fun images for kids. Place it on the cake and dust it with powdered sugar and then remove the paper.
  • Before baking the cake, I sometimes sprinkle powdered pistachios all over the cake. It gives a gorgeous green crust to the cake. You can check the mava cake recipe here.
  • You can add sliced fruits or berries before baking by coating the fruits lightly with 1 tablespoon of flour. This method helps the fruits from sinking.

Some Additional Tips:

Cut the cake using a serrated knife once it has completely cooled down.

Store it in an airtight container, and you can place it on the kitchen counter for 2 to 3 days.

You can also store it in the refrigerator for a couple more days. Leave it at room temperature 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Additionally, you can also warm it in the microwave for about 10 seconds if you do not want to wait longer.
