Blogs

It is 4 am and I am still trying to get some more sleep but it is far away from my eyes. So many thoughts and memories keep wondering in my mind. I just want to talk and share my feelings with someone. So the thought of writing this blog came to my mind. This is my firstever blog which I am dedicating to my loving and adorable husband Subhash who is physically no more with us but me and my children feel his presence with us everywhere. He was the one who support, guide and drive me to the kitchen with love and patience. Otherwise I use to get a good amount of scolding from my mom, who really tried very hard to make me learn atleast some everyday cooking.
After my marriage my husband who was himself a good cook, at least I can say so, teach me some basic cooking. We both explore this field together. We experiment with all available ingredients and he always encourage me by praising me and never ever scoff at any dish I made. Till the time my kids were born I was a good cook. After that there is no looking back. Now they can have all type of cuisine at home. Even my grandson, Rudraksh enjoy my dishes and tell everybody that my nani can cook everything better than any hotel. He love to make cakes and chocolate mousse with me. I will share some of my recipes with you in my latter blogs.

When it comes to making a Cake, we want it to be perfect, proportionate, spongy and delicious.
But if you sometimes face problems, try these :


 

If you have A Dry Cake:

Too much baking powder or flour;
Not enough butter;
Kept for long time in the oven.

If your cakes becomes A Heavy Cake:

Not enough baking powder;
Too much flour;
Mixture not creamed enough less butter;
Flour mixed too vigorously, it should be folded slowly;
Oven temperature too slow.

God save us from a A Sunken Cake:

Too much liquid/milk, baking powder or sugar;
Flour not just enough; oven door slammed, not properly closed or cake moved during baking;
Taken out from oven too soon.


No more A Peaked Cake:

Insufficient fat or baking powder;
Excess flour;
Oven temperature too high.

Save me from A Cracked Top Cake:

Oven too hot;
Cake tin small for the cake;
Not enough butter.

Ohhh!! Fruit Sunk to the Bottom in a fresh friut cake:

Fruit added before adding flour.
