Answers:
Not sure what kind of cake you're looking for, but here's a recipe for a simple Lemon Sponge Cake. Good Luck!!
INGREDIENTS
* 6 eggs
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup water
* 1 teaspoon lemon extract
* 1 teaspoon lemon zest
* 1 cup cake flour
* 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
1. Separate the eggs. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until very thick and lemon colored. Beat in sugar gradually. Add water, lemon extract and lemon rind. Beat in flour.
2. In another bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Then add cream of tartar and salt. Beat mixture until whites are stiff, but not until they are dry. Fold this whipped mixture into yolk mixture.
3. Pour batter into an ungreased 9 inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for one hour, or until done.
Get your cake pans...spray with "Bakers Secret" or grease with shortening and dust with flour. Most important to let the cake release once cooked.
Make a box cake by the recipe on the box...simple.
Cook according to box, but reduce time by 5 min...to account for variations in your oven...test every minute in the middle of cake pan with a wooden toothpick. If slipped in and comes out with cake on it, the cake is not done. If slipped in and comes out clean, cake is done. Don't worry, these holes can be covered by frosting.
Once done, allow cake to cool in pan for 5 min before turning out onto cooling rack.
Make frosting, as store bought really rots. Let frosting be at room temp prior to using...if frosting is too stiff, it will break the cake.
Place cake on serving plate, dust off any crumbs and then frost.
get a box of betty crocker and follow the directions.
mix butter with sugar . then put eggs with milk and flour . then mix it with baking powder or buy a cake from the bakery
If you are a beginning baker, some of the recipe directions will be unfamiliar. When it says "cream buttter and sugar" it means mix soft butter and suger until it is completely combined and creamy, not gritty. When it says "baking soda" it refers to Arm and Hammer baking soda, available in the baking aisle. (It doesn't mean soda as in soft drinks.) You will be more successful if you have measuring spoons and cups rather than using regular spoons and cups because baking is more exact than routine meal preparation where a little more or a little less won't matter as much. Overfill measuring cups and spoons and then level off to get an accurate measure. Use the right size pans as the recipe recommends. It's a good idea to get an oven thermometer to be sure your oven is accurate because the wrong temperature can ruin a cake. A good timer, too.
After a little practice, with the help of a good cookbook, you and your cakes will be in demand for every get-together.
You follow the directions on the back of the box.
