It also really helps to sieve the flour and cornstarch mix to get a consistency similar to cake flour, and avoid over-mixing from there on out :) the more air you can incorporate the better, generally. There are always a few recipes where that doesn't apply, especially denser cakes (I've always found that chocolate cakes tend to be an exception), but for white and yellow cakes it makes a world of difference!

How not to overmix for air and fluffines?
@princesslily2410 ай бұрын
@@xaviercruz4763you’ll know a batter is over mixed when it becomes runny like pancake batter, & this results in a chewy cake. to avoid all of that & get the proper incorporation and fluffiness, mix wet ingredients with wet ingredients, dry with dry, and only mix until they’re combined. (start by sieving the flour & cornstarch mix into a bowl before adding other dry ingredients like this comment says), and then slowly add that dry-mix into your wet-mix bowl, whisk slowly as you go, and once it is *just combined* stop. scrape your spatula around the sides of the bowl and the bottom, and if you find a lump or flour (you shouldn’t because you sieved it first) just use a spatula or whisk in that spot to break it up, but don’t go back to mixing again cause you already did that. this should make a very nice cake!

As someone who was raised on AP flour desserts because of cake flour being cost prohibitive, cake flour tastes almost synthetic? My family has always reacted best to the AP flour + Cornstarch trick, it's a great step up and the cornstarch acts almost like a dough conditioner would in that it keeps the cakes soft and moist longer than flour alone would. On top of my vanilla cupcakes, my brownie and chocolate chip cookie recipes also use cornstarch.
@shadowguard357811 ай бұрын
I agree with you. I have twice used cake flour when the recipe specified cake flour. The first time I ever used cake flour the cake was tasted awful and it had a horrible texture. The second time I baked a cake using cake flour I used the same recipe for comparison and baked another one using APF plus cornstarch. The cake baked with APF plus cornstarch tasted better and had a better texture.

@PixieLovesItAll9 ай бұрын
@@aurelia720 I believe it says in the video but for every cup of AP Flour you take out ~2 tablespoons and sub them for 2 tablespoons of Cornstarch. It doesn't have to be exact to the teaspoon as long as you end up with the same amount of dry ingredients in total. For example, my vanilla cupcake recipe calls for 2 1/2 c AP Flour, so I just do 2 1/4 c AP Flour + 1/4 c Cornstarch to make it easy.

😮 I’m in the UK. Never seen anything but “self-raising” - SR - (flour with added raising agent), “plain” (no added leavening agents), and “strong” or “bread” flour. With of course the different varieties of grain from “white” to multigrain. I’m only counting the stuff I’d find in a typical baking aisle. There are a bunch of other flours that are more often found in aisles for specific cuisines, like for pasta or chapatis. But a specific “cake flour” with a different protein content isn’t something I’ve ever come across. British cake recipes always specify SR or plain, if it just says “flour” it is calling for plain flour and probably asks for baking powder or baking soda as well. This means that US recipes (as well as using volume measurements for non-liquids, that’s just odd) are likely to give different results in the UK 😢 - even before you get to recipes that start off wanting a prepackaged cake mix 😂
@Kt-cn2rq5 ай бұрын
Well usually at home people use dry cup. Pro uses a scale for dry and liquid measuring for liquids. Sift their all their dry ingredients together before adding the wet. Mainly its techniques learning pastry school that home cooks don't know about unless it is written in a recipe.
