How can I make sure my cakes are really moist?
How can I make sure my cakes are really moist?
ANSWER:
The following circumstances can result in a cake that is too dry:
- The cake was baked too long.
- The oven temperature was too low resulting in too long of a baking time
- The oven temperature was too hot causing cake to over bake during the suggested baking time.
- Too little liquid was used.
Eliminating these typical causes will help to ensure that your cake is desirably moist.
Another innovative trick to ensuring a very moist cake is to wrap a wet towel around the baking pan. I've never tried this method, but have eaten a piece of birthday cake that was baked in this manner, and it was astonishingly moist.
