Baking a perfect cake is an art. Although, it requires not too many ingredients, blending them
perfectly and in precise quantity is indispensable to bake a delicious cake.
But to make your cake stand out, there are certain baking techniques to help you bake
an amazingly spongy cake. With these tips to make cake spongy, your next cake is sure to blow
everyone’s mind away with its impeccable taste.
Take the guide:
1. To make the cake spongy, the correct temperature of each ingredient plays an
important role. The flour and eggs should be at room temperature while the butter should
be warm.
2. While you fold the mixture, make figure 8 in motion. For a super spongy cake, you
need to be sure that you do not over-mix the cake as it would kill the bubbles and make
the cake hard.
3. If you are using buttermilk in the recipe that does not use baking soda, it is advisable to
add a little bit of baking soda along with buttermilk too.
4. Cakes that have specifically cake flour are much lighter and fluffier than cakes that
have all-purpose flour. Cake flour has cornstarch mixed in it which makes the cake
spongy.
5. If you feel storing or frosting the cake would dry it out, adding sugar syrup is a great tip to
make the cake spongy. All you need to do is pour or spray the syrup over the cake slices
before frosting them.
6. Know there’s always a right time to frost the cake. One important tip to make the cake
spongy is to let the cake set and cool completely before frosting and slicing it.
