21. • Types of Cakes
1. Butter Cake
- a cake in which one of the main ingredients is butter.
- baked with basic ingredients: butter, sugar, eggs, flour,
and leavening agents.
- It is considered one of the quintessential cakes in
American baking.
-Butter cake originated from the English pound cake,
which traditionally used equal amounts of butter, flour,
sugar, and eggs to bake a heavy, rich cake
22.
23. 2. Sponge Cake
- is a light cake made with egg whites, flour
and sugar, sometimes leavened with
baking powder. Sponge cakes, leavened
with beaten eggs, originated during the
Renaissance, possibly in Spain.
24.
25. 3. Genoise Cake
-In Italy and France, a sponge cake is
called genoise.
- in genoise, whole eggs are beaten
with sugar until they're thick and
ribbony and then flour (and
sometimes butter) is added and the
batter is baked;
26.
27. 4. Biscuit Cake
- Biscuit (always pronounced the French way as
bees-kwee) cakes are another type of sponge cake
containing both egg whites and yolks.
-unlike genoise, the whites and yolks are whipped
separately and then folded back together. This
creates a light batter that's drier than a genoise
but holds its shape better after mixing. For this
reason, it's often used for piped shapes such
as ladyfingers
28.
29. 5. Angel food Cake
- are made with egg whites alone and no
yolks. The whites are whipped with sugar
until very firm before the flour is gently
folded in, resulting in a snowy-white, airy,
and delicate cake that marries beautifully
with fruit
30.
31. 6. Chiffon Cake
-A very light cake made with vegetable oil,
eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and
flavorings.

traditional solid fat such as butter or
shortening, it is easier to beat air into the
batter
32.
33. 7. Baked Flourless Cake
-can be baked or unbaked, and are made
without flour.
-They generally have a creamy or silky
textures; it's because they are comprised of
just egg foams (usually whole eggs and/or
egg yolks) with lots of added fat, from
sources such as butter, cream cheese,
cream or sour cream.

35. Mixing methods in Cakes
1. The Creaming Method
- The creaming method is the most common for mixing cake
batter.
-It incorporates plenty of air into the dough and helps it rise,
creating a stable, yet tender, finished product.
-All ingredients should be at room temperature for best
results. Start by beating the butter and sugar together, then
add eggs one at a time. Alternate adding dry and wet
ingredients and scrape the bowl to ensure everything is
mixing evenly.
36. 2. Reverse Creaming
-The reverse creaming method.also called the
“paste” mixing method is another common way
-It results in a moist, sturdy cake that’s ideal for
stacking.
-First, beat soft butter and lukewarm liquids into
ingredients until the batter is crumbly. Next,
beat in eggs one at a time. The batter will be
creaming method.

out of a box or for a cake batter that has
than other types.
-All ingredients are added to the mixer bowl,
liquids are added one at a time. This is a
used in commercial kitchens because it’s
manage.
38. 4. Creating Light, Airy Foam
A foam cake, such as angel food cake, is
special mixing technique. Whip egg whites
as much air as possible, adding cream of
needed to give the mix stability. Next,
continue to lightly whisk to give the batter
39. Types of Icings
1. Butter Cream
-made by creaming together sugar and butter or other fats
like lard or margarine.
-The quality of the fat used will affect the taste, consistency
and appearance of the cream frosting, as also the
temperature at which the butter is whipped.
-Add a burst of flavour with vanilla extract. The cream melts
easily in hot weather and so must be kept chilled to keep its
form.
40.
