I tried the water bath on my pound cake recipe (just like she recommended here) because she said it gave her the best result. It worked great! Hands down the moistest cake I have ever baked. I baked a 9X12 rectangular cake and I had to bake it about 20 minutes more than the recipe called for. Just watch your cake carefully after the original baking time is up. I have found 10-minute intervals make a big difference in baking time. Anything less does nothing. Having said that, a water bath makes a more professional looking cake, but I really missed the slightly harder crust on the outside. I think that makes a cake taste even better. The cake is moister this way but it can still be moist the other way too. Just not AS moist as this way, so it is a tradeoff. I also had to cool the cake a little and flip it, then put it back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes just to firm up the bottom a little bit more. To me, the cake seemed too fragile to cut and frost as it was. Maybe another 10 minutes would have done the trick, but I was afraid to burn the bottom and I had no way of seeing it. Make sure that you have plenty of time on your hands when you try this for the first time, so that you can work out all of the bugs in the system as well as cater this method to YOUR personal oven. Then record your results for next time. It will help take the stress out of doing this again. Some of my kids loved it baked this way and some preferred it the old-fashioned way, but this is a valuable tip to know for more formal occasions. Hope this helps first-timers.
Water bath cakes also have the softest and moistest (is that a word?) crumb. I've been baking my cakes like this for a long time and it always produces outstanding results. And if you make an oil-based cake (instead of butter-based) baked in a water bath you end up with something extremely soft, fluffy and moist, plus flat! Definitely recommended.
Love this video but I would have loved to see how the interiors of these cakes turned out also. That would really help aid in the decision of which method is best. The interior is more important than outside in my opinion. The outside can be camouflaged to hide imperfections. If the inside isn't right you have to toss and start over. I love your videos keep them coming I'm learning a lot from you!!
Hi there! YES YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT! I actually completely forgot to do this but I really wish I had! I did try the cakes after and there weren't any noticeable differences in texture apart from the crusts (which were harder the more brown they were). Will hopefully keep this in mind for future videos like this :)
@@CakesbyMK Good to know. I didn't know about the water-bath method, but I'll definitely be trying that for cakes that I intend to cover with frosting.
The water bath is a game changer for me! I've tried lower Temps for longer, baking strips, and resorting to just cutting the dome off! I'm amazed! I'll never bake cakes any other way now! Thanks!🎂
I bake mine in 2 pans instead of 1, flat tops everytime. So basically lesser batter or bigger pan works well too. But generally, I bake mine at 150-160
Great video!! I freeze my greased tins at least half an hour, or fridge chill at least a couple of hours, prior to baking my cakes. Seems to work just as well for an even cook. Might try the water bath option some time though. Steams as well as keeps the cook even
@MilkyWhite1 usually I go for 160C, but I tried as low as 150C and baked for an hour, and it was super stable! 160C gives me very similar stability but takes less time to bake^^
Water bath gives an amazing result! If you were making cake and don't want dark edges, the water bath would save you a lot of time and trouble. You wouldn't have to cut away the dark edges from the sides. Excellent suggestions and video MK! Thank you!
Hello there, I'm a new Baker and I too find the water bath technique very efficient but I've a doubt as which the temperature should be convenient and for how long..?😅 I hope you don't mind me
I once saw a youtuber just placing a sheet of aluminium foil on top of the cake batter once poured in tin. no need to tightly wrap just place it so that its not directly exposed to heat outside. I gave it a try, it was the most most even cake i ever baked.
Good evening.. Thank you so much for this MK I watched this video this morning and I just tried it.. My cake came out very nice.. So there's no need to trim and trim and trim 😊
Scientist MK! I love the comparisons side by side. I've tried a water bath for cheesecake, but never cake. I think I'm most likely to lower the temperature because it requires the least amount of extra work 🤣 I'm also only a hobby baker. Great video! Sorry I missed the live premier, I was sleeping stilla
What a helpful video comparing all the different methods side by side. I think the problem with the store bought strip was that it was not wide enough to cover the entire cake pan.
Never thought of doing in a water bath. That was drastically better! Definitely will give it a go next time. An even easier method than putting on my cake strips. Thank you so much! 🤩
Would love to know how the crumb of the cake is affected. Dryer? Wetter? Smaller crumb? Softer Crumb? I’m always paying attention to the flavor and texture profile.
Yess in hindsight I should have added this to the video! I did try most of them and inside they pretty much tasted the same (taste and texture wise), just the ones with the darker crusts were harder on the edges and not as soft when you ate the edges. Hope that helps!
Thank you for this video. Now, I am not buying a cake strip. Learning to bake cakes for my wife since the price of store bought cakes have gone through the roof.
Good stuff. Didn't like the water bath cake tbh. It looked undercooked and very unappealing. The strips cakes were winners, though! Thanks for the tips (and I'm still loving your accent and overall Aussie enthusiasm). Hugs from Scotland x
I use 2 of your hacks plus a 3rd. The first is store bought cake strips, but a different brand which are thicker and taller than the brand you use. I’d say they more closely resemble the size of the home made ones you showed. 2nd is that I always lower the temperature to 160⁰C. The final hack I use is that my cake pans are placed on a baking tray with an even layer of non toxic play sand. Using these 3 hacks, I find that my cakes do not dome at all and also, the tops, bottoms and sides of the cake stay light coloured. They don’t develop a darker crust. Occasionally, I also use a heat core. A heat core is substantially thicker than a flower nail, but I only use this hack if my cake is large.
Wow I've never heard of the non toxic play sand before! So many cool hacks out there! And yeah I think my flower nail probably wasn't thick enough - I just googled a heating core and they seem much thicker! Thanks for sharing your tips :D
You can also use a non-traditional, thicker pan to bake the cake: I use a pottery pan, thicker than the normal cake pan by 4 times, and my cakes never dome, and never brown (unless I forget them and they over-bake significantly!)
Hey there! I was facing the same problem. Then this video has came to my feed! Yeah it’s a savior for me. Thank you so much. Take love from Bangladesh ❤❤ ❤
Thanks for this video!! It will help me a lot in doing flat cakes! I’ve tried the homemade cake strips, but with paper towels instead a fabric towel and did no worked well.
Learned some new things with your vid. Thank you. I would have been curious how the results would have been different if you had used 2-3 of these hacks at the same time on the same cake.
I love your channel and am happy to see that you're back to doing videos more regularly. I hope you're doing well, and even though I may be a day late: Eid Mubarak!
Asalmulaikum Great video! The last time I made Chocolate Cake, it had a big dome in the overall look. Very helpful. For The Homemade strips you could also use a paper towel
MK, new subscriber! This is just the BEST and what I am looking for. Making a cake in another day and was going to express baking strips, but I actually want to do the water bath. I am not sure if the temperature should be lowered as well.
Thank you so much for doing this experiment. It is worth noting that I am interested in this in order to prevent a very dense cake from undercooking in the centre and then falling in the centre. It seems to me that this is caused by the same problem. My question is this: If the problem is that the conducted heat through the metal walls of the tin are the problem then why use a tin at all? Why not use a ceramic dish? Have you ever tried that?
Wow. I’m thrilled I found your video. I’m baking a birthday cake and was thinking I’d need to buy strips. I’m so grateful to see the beautiful results from the water bath. Thank you so much.🙂💯
I use the store bought strips and lower temperature oven and my cakes are 100% flat. Easy! Though Depending on the size of the cakes, the timing of the bake needs to be watched carefully.
Great videos...demonstration, presentation, comprehensiveness, clarity You should also show the interior of these cakes, that would be complete demonstration And what about baking in silocone molds 🤔
Thank you for such a fun video! I know that was a lot of work, and dishes to clean too! I just found your channel, and subscribed. Happy baking from the Pacific Northwest- Washington state! 🧁🌸🌻🍰🌊🐳🐻🦭🌲🐿️🎣🐋🌻🌸🧁🍰
Wow u did so much work to produce this video and it's got so much good information.. I know which one I'm going to use. Thanks for your awesome experiment and all your work.
Before you started my first thought was use a water bath and hey presto it seemed work best. I do like the wet wrap idea too, that seems easy to use. Btw, my wife used your homemade quick release goo the other day on an awkwardly shaped cake tin for one of our granddaughters birthdays, it worked like a charm and she can't stop telling people about it lol.
Love this video, comparisons are great! I will try the water bath and lower temp as I have used pan wraps and st find it a pain in the butt! I will say one critique is all of your cakes were cooked too long, cake should not be brown or golden brown on the sides and top.
Wish I had seen this begore I baked a birthday cake yesterday. They came out pretty domed. My oven runs hot to begin with so did drop the temp. Tempted to bake a new one just to test. I'm so OCD lol I'll use my leveler. Noting this for next time.
I loved seeing the different techniques for flat cake tops. I think I'll be using a water bank. Could you please provide me with your homemade cake release? I love your new video process. It's really fun. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Homemade cake release.. ..1 cup Crisco shortening, I cup vegetable oil, 1 cup all purpose flour. Nothing else. Beat really really well in a mixer. I store mine in an old butter/cool whip container. In the frig. Give it a quick stir before use. Will last many months without getting rancid if you keep in the frig. Use a pastry brush to brush into any baking pan or cookie sheet. This recipe was in my Wilton cake decorating book when I took a class 42 years ago. I'm a professional baker, Millie's Kitchen. This has worked beautifully THOUSANDS of times over my baking career of 40 plus years. Good luck and happy baking.
Hi MK first of all thank you soooooooooo much for sharing your cake recipes, I have tried like so many recipes never worked properly like yours 😊 The only problem that I have is that my cakes become puffy, like you said i put oven between 150 and 160 still i get these puffy cakes Can lower the temperature like between 120 and 130? May Allah bless you with lots of happiness 😊
As Salaam Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak ☪️ I just want to thank you for vibrant and most importantly, informative content! I did the water bath method on my last vegan carrot cake, took it to work and everyone could not believe how moist and delicious it was! They were in disbelief it was really vegan. I didn’t have to cut anything off the top of the cake, it really worked and I will surely use this method when I bake cake, does it work the same for cupcake s as well?
You certainly looked the part with the lab coat and specs 😂 love it! You really are a joy to watch and always inspire me to get back into cake making 🫶🥰
Aslm. Your vids help so much. I'm the most beginner baker you could get. Lol. Soo my Q is... Were these all done with the fan on? Especially the lowered temperature one. This vid is old but I hope you'll be able to answer. Husband's birthday like in few day's time... Sigh
Love your channel. And this was interesting. But in the interests of a compleated experiment I DO think that we should have looked at the textures of the cakes. More specifically the one that was baked lower and slower and the water bath. I've had plenty of flops in my time that really didn't look bad from the outside. But once cut into, we're an entirely different story. For one reason or another. Judging the external appearance isn't always the benchmark for a successful bake🤔
Yess you're so right!! I didn't think to do this (which in hindsight I should have!). I didn't specifically analyse the textures of the cakes but I did try most of them and inside they pretty much tasted the same (taste and texture wise), just the ones with the darker crusts were harder on the edges and not as soft when you ate the edges. Definitely something to keep in mind for future test type videos :)

As a data driven person I absolutely loved your feedback.
Thank you for this! Super helpful
Just took four cakes out of the oven with this problem and so did a quick RUclips search and this is really helpful to know! Thank you!

Hi there! Omg the freezing cake tin idea sounds genius I have to try it sometime :D
wow thanks for the tip
lower temp is my to go hack! It takes significantly longer to bake, but the result is so great every time!
What temp do you use?
@MilkyWhite1 usually I go for 160C, but I tried as low as 150C and baked for an hour, and it was super stable! 160C gives me very similar stability but takes less time to bake^^
@@alisalee9287 Thanks. I'm going to give that a try. I hope it works out.
Thank you for all the tips to the beginners like me. Your way of explaining encourage us to bake fearlessly. Thank you 🙏🏻
Water bath gives an amazing result! If you were making cake and don't want dark edges, the water bath would save you a lot of time and trouble. You wouldn't have to cut away the dark edges from the sides.
Excellent suggestions and video MK! Thank you!
I loved the water bath method too! So glad to hear you enjoyed the video :D

I cover the tin with foil when baking a fruit cake but I will try the water bath method next time.
Thank you MK! I'm watching from Nigeria. My baking just stepped up💜
Its wonderful to learn something new. I am also excited to see how the cross sections of each of these cakes are and how moint they are
Good evening.. Thank you so much for this MK I watched this video this morning and I just tried it.. My cake came out very nice.. So there's no need to trim and trim and trim 😊

@@asugarholicslife awww I love replying to comments! You all are so special! :D
What a helpful video comparing all the different methods side by side.

You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video :D
I don't really get this water bath and I really want to try it ,am I going to bake the cake with the pan still inside water?
@@ramatubana yes, bake it in the pan of water
Using the water bath method, since layer cakes have at least 2 layers, are you placing them each in a separate water bath pan?
Would love to know how the crumb of the cake is affected. Dryer? Wetter? Smaller crumb? Softer Crumb? I’m always paying attention to the flavor and texture profile.
Yess in hindsight I should have added this to the video! I did try most of them and inside they pretty much tasted the same (taste and texture wise), just the ones with the darker crusts were harder on the edges and not as soft when you ate the edges. Hope that helps!
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing baking tips and tricks, especially for home bakers it helps tremendously 💕
Im definitely trying the water bath...every cake, cupcake or muffin recipe domes in my oven....even box recipes. Cant wait to try it! Thank you!!
I tried water bath method. It worked Thank you so much , no wastage makes me happy 😃👍🏻
Yayy so happy to hear that! :D
Hey there, mind if I ask what temperature did you use for the process and how long..😅

Cake / baking strips have always given me the most consistent results

Eid Mubarak to you too! And I wish the same for you :D Ameen :)
YOU are an absolute joy to watch. Such a beautiful person!
Aww thanks so much! :) :)

Thank you so much for doing this! I have been lost as to what will be the best and most practical for me, and now I know.
I believe water bath also make your cake softer and spongy .. highly recommend

Wow! This is amazing! God bless you for sharing this knowledge with us. Thank you so much 🙏
If you put foil over the top of the whole cake pan .....the cake will come out flat and very moist.
Excellent video. Thanks for doing the research for us.

So glad to hear that :D
Thanks MK. As always, this was such a helpful video.
So glad to hear! :D
ما شاء الله
Very interesting. Thanks for that information 👍
Thank you so much for doing this experiment. It is worth noting that I am interested in this in order to prevent a very dense cake from undercooking in the centre and then falling in the centre. It seems to me that this is caused by the same problem. My question is this: If the problem is that the conducted heat through the metal walls of the tin are the problem then why use a tin at all? Why not use a ceramic dish? Have you ever tried that?
Eid Mubarak and many thanks for this interesting video. Next time I’ll try out some of your hacks. 🌺🌙
Eid Mubarak to you too! Glad you enjoyed the video :D
as someone who is frequently busy and tired(lol), low temp is very convenient for me
Haha you sound like me! We probably need more sleep!! xD
That was amazing, thank you. I had never heard of any of these methods until I watched this video. My cake making game has just got much better 😊😊😁
Ty sooo much fr d wonderful tips..my first cake of d year turns out just great! Thanks to ur valuable advice..happy new year!!😘😘😘
Amazing video, I will use these techniques for sure!
Wow. I’m thrilled I found your video. I’m baking a birthday cake and was thinking I’d need to buy strips. I’m so grateful to see the beautiful results from the water bath. Thank you so much.🙂💯
I'm gonna try putting cloth strips on AND place them in water. Thanks!
I use the store bought strips and lower temperature oven and my cakes are 100% flat. Easy! Though Depending on the size of the cakes, the timing of the bake needs to be watched carefully.
Great videos...demonstration, presentation, comprehensiveness, clarity
You should also show the interior of these cakes, that would be complete demonstration
And what about baking in silocone molds 🤔
🎉Thank you so much for these tips. I always wondered about the nail and the strips.😊
Thanks Soo much ❤ and everyone in the comments 🎉 very informational and helpful
Tried the water bath hack and it worked a treat, no more mount Vesuvius table top mountain it is all the way

Hehe yep it has been! So glad to be back :D
That was so interesting. I’m definitely going to try the water bath 😀
For how much time do you put your cakes in tha oven ???
I loved seeing the different techniques for flat cake tops. I think I'll be using a water bank. Could you please provide me with your homemade cake release? I love your new video process. It's really fun. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video :D and here is the link to the homemade cake release recipe :) ruclips.net/video/N7iFHKfaSlA/видео.html
Homemade cake release..
..1 cup Crisco shortening, I cup vegetable oil, 1 cup all purpose flour. Nothing else.
Beat really really well in a mixer. I store mine in an old butter/cool whip container. In the frig. Give it a quick stir before use. Will last many months without getting rancid if you keep in the frig. Use a pastry brush to brush into any baking pan or cookie sheet. This recipe was in my Wilton cake decorating book when I took a class 42 years ago.
I'm a professional baker, Millie's Kitchen. This has worked beautifully THOUSANDS of times over my baking career of 40 plus years.

Can you tell recipe for homemade pan release, you are the only person whom recipes I can trust
Lifesaver thank you
Hi MK first of all thank you soooooooooo much for sharing your cake recipes, I have tried like so many recipes never worked properly like yours 😊
The only problem that I have is that my cakes become puffy, like you said i put oven between 150 and 160 still i get these puffy cakes
Can lower the temperature like between 120 and 130?
May Allah bless you with lots of happiness 😊

Love your channel. And this was interesting. But in the interests of a compleated experiment I DO think that we should have looked at the textures of the cakes. More specifically the one that was baked lower and slower and the water bath. I've had plenty of flops in my time that really didn't look bad from the outside. But once cut into, we're an entirely different story. For one reason or another. Judging the external appearance isn't always the benchmark for a successful bake🤔
Yess you're so right!! I didn't think to do this (which in hindsight I should have!). I didn't specifically analyse the textures of the cakes but I did try most of them and inside they pretty much tasted the same (taste and texture wise), just the ones with the darker crusts were harder on the edges and not as soft when you ate the edges. Definitely something to keep in mind for future test type videos :)
Merciii vidéo très enrichissante 😻😻🥰
You're welcome! :D
