Homemade cakes are a great way to delight a family for a holiday or on a weekday evening. Housewives often face problems when preparing pies and buns - they do not rise well or settle when they are ready. There are several ways to insure yourself against such troubles.
It often happens that the cake looks amazing in the oven. You are already proud of yourself and imagine how your family will praise the culinary skills of the hostess. But fifteen minutes pass and a thin layer of dough remains from the gorgeous fluffy pie. This can happen for several reasons. The main and most common reason is a sharp change in temperature. The mistress's mistake is that they take the baked goods out of the oven too quickly and leave it to cool on the table. It turns out that out of two hundred and twenty degrees, you abruptly rearrange your pies at 23-25 degrees. Because of such a sharp drop, hot baked goods fall off. To avoid such a situation, it is worth taking care of maintaining approximately the same temperature throughout the entire preparation. To do this, do not open the oven door during the first 25-30 minutes of baking. After the baked goods are ready, do not rush to take them out of the oven. Turn it off and leave the cake inside with the door slightly open (about ten centimeters). This ensures that the temperature drops smoothly and your baked goods retain their volume perfectly. An equally common reason for the settling of pies is a recipe violation. Either you add more flour than you need, or you overdo it with baking powder or baking soda. Follow the recipe carefully to avoid settling in the baked goods. Try beating the whites and yolks separately. A good way to preserve the pie is to replace some of the flour with two tablespoons of starch. Poorly baked pastries will also sag, so make sure your dessert is completely cooked. Another tip for preserving the volume of pies is to place them in an oven that is not fully preheated. Let the temperature rise gradually. For example, if you need a temperature of 180 degrees, then preheat the oven to 120 and put the dough in it. After ten minutes, move the lever 180 degrees and bake the dessert for the required amount of time.
