  • Hello my pretties. Hope everyone is having a great day! If you clicked on this video chances are you’re feeling the same way I did a few years ago... FRUSTRATED... you see when I first started baking 10 yrs ago I wanted to have the BEST recipes... I had a great red velvet cake recipe, my chocolate cake was on point and my carrot cake was to die for... but my vanilla cake? Not so much... I searched all over the internet but I could never find one that was good enough... it was either great for eating but not so much stacking and carving (moist and delicious but not sturdy) or great for stacking and carving but not so much eating (holds its shape but dry and hard)... i was feeling super disappointed until I found it... the holly grail of all vanilla cakes... are you ready for it? LIZ MAREK’s VANILLA CAKE RECIPE look it up I swear it was a game changer for me! . This recipe makes the most delicious vanilla cake you will ever taste. It has a tight crumb that makes it perfect for carving as well as stacking. So I tried it and it worked... sometimes and other times it didn’t work... I couldn’t understand why that was if I was following the same recipe... so I set out on a quest to find out why that was... I was determined to research and learn about the science behind making the perfect vanilla cake great for eating but also stacking and carving. I figured if I knew the science behind it it would help me figure out what I was doing wrong and why sometimes the recipe worked and why other times it didn’t so that way I could have more consistent results. So I did a lot of research and in this video I’m going to explain to you what I came up with...
    I know this video is a bit longer so below I am going to provide you guys with a timestamp of everything in case you want to skip ahead. As always, thank you for watching. Hope you enjoy!

  • @trinajames7222
    @trinajames7222 3 года назад +23

    **room temp eggs & butter** it helps all your ingredients work well in the oven for the cake to rise evenly. never skip sifting dry ingredients and make sure to just walk away from the cakes when they're done. It's tempting to flip them, etc but once they're cooled in the pan (providing you've got your parchment circle on the bottom of the cake pan) they should come out better and in one piece. removing too hot makes them fall apart and can cause it to stick to the pan making craters in your cake. Love this channel, starting my own home cake business too, I've been a Cook and Baker for about 10 years for other people, it's time to do my own thing.

  • @xolio1993
    @xolio1993 2 года назад +4

    i just do 250g of butter, caster sugar, eggs (weighed in shells - 4 large) and self raising flour, using the creaming method though and a splash of milk and vanilla at the end at 350f/180c/gas mark 4 for 25 minutes, to create 2 , 8-inch cakes. It makes a really really delicious cake and its so easy to remember. The rule of thumb is to go up or down by 125g if you're going up or down an inch. So if 2, 8-inch cakes are 250g, 2, 9-inch cakes would be 375g of everything. (I got the recipe and details from CupcakeJemma) :)

    Thank you for so much info provided to us! My question to you is: when it comes to baking powder in the list of the ingredients it stays: "2Tbsp and 2tsp baking powder". Are you sure we should use so much baking powder? For this half a kilo of flour I would have used half of the quantity you wrote.

    • @Simsane
      @Simsane 11 месяцев назад +1

      Cook it at 350° F instead of 325°F but just keep an eye on it checking for doneness. 325 does help it cook more evenly, preventing the risk of doming but it also causes the sides to be softer, weaker.
      Besides using a toothpick to check for doneness, look for the sides of the cake to slightly pull away from the pan and/or pressing a finger lightly on the top and seeing that it bounces back. So, if you are keeping an eye on it, look for the sides pulling away and open your oven and check that it bounces back.

      Ah I know what could have gone wrong.... 1. The eggs and milk may have been too warm and 2 which is most likely the stage where you have to whip it for 2 mins try adding less wet ingredients idk if that makes sense add just enough to have it coated but not more then add the rest very slowly once you’re done whipping it for the 2 mins... see if that doesn’t help... it’s happened to me a few times as well 😉

    Hello, I'm just watching this video for the first time which I found through specific searching because my vanilla cakes lack moistness.
    It's actually helped me understand the science behind a lot of things I was already doing but since I never understood the science, never was able to do well.
    I like this video because it's very explanatory and has helped me to understand a lot.

    Love the lesson of invaluable info. I, too, am a sugar geek fan and I recognized the goop immediately - great stuff. Ms. Merek is super talented and her videos are fun - especially when Avalon joins her. Back to you now, I am a new subscriber and so thankful to have found you!!! I'm not a professional baker but love to bake and do so fairly often. Question: are you baking all 6 cakes layers at once and, if so, are you rotating these layers at any point in the baking process? I have never baked more than 3 layers at once and, truth be told, when rotating it is quite the juggling match for me! Also, would this recipe be good to use for those carved out cakes? Thank you again so much.

    • @JaniesSweets
      @JaniesSweets  3 года назад +1

      She is seriously THE BEST it’s insane how talented she is!!! To answer your question yes I do bake all 6 at once... I do have a convection oven which helps the heat to distribute evenly so I don’t rotate anymore... however if you do need to rotate I’d say wait half way through when the cake is almost done (the small layers) then open the oven and rotate quickly... if you do it before the cake rises it may deflate... hope that helps 😊

      You’re welcome ☺️ so for this recipe I’d recommend using the mixture… the butter is not only important because of the reverse mixing method ( it prevents the flour from absorbing the liquids and making a dense tough cake) it will keep your cake surdy for stacking because it solidifies in the fridge… so I’d recommend if you don’t want to or can’t use butter at all for whatever reason a different cake recipe all together that uses only oil.. the mixing methods will probably be different and also the ratio 😉

I beat it for the same amount of time I’m not sure if beating less or more might make a difference I haven’t tried 🤷‍♀️ I like the cake flour one better but the corn starch and AP flour was pretty good too... I saw no difference in the way the batter looked but it’s once it’s baked that I tasted the difference... it’s not necessarily bad it’s just a tad bit corny like similar to a corn bread taste... I hope it’s making sence lol so sorry if I confused you lol...

    Hi Janie, I was researching about how to make my butter cake more moist, because I prefer less sweet cakes so I reduce the sugar. Usually butter cakes have a 1:1:1:1 ratio for butter, sugar, flour, and eggs, right? But in my case, if my butter is 125 grams, my sugar is 85 grams (yes that's a whole lot of sugar to take away LOL). I found this reduced sugar recipe works fine in cupcakes, but in layer cakes, it makes it kinda dry. I was researching if I can add some egg yolks (I always have extra yolks from my SMBC) to make up for the lost liquid ingredient (40 grams of sugar that I omit) and make it moist again. Or maybe I should just shower my layers with simple syrup? Do you mind sharing your opinion or experience on this? I can't seem to find anyone who talks about this, all they're saying is equal ratio of everything. Btw I use the regular creaming method, but your reverse creaming method looks interesting! I will try it next time! Thank you for sharing xx
