Tips For Making Light Fluffy Cakes

Cakes are not the easiest thing in the world to cook but if you want to become proficient at making the best Mexican dessert recipes, learning how to make a fluffy sponge cake, which you can flavor with Mexican chocolate or top with homemade cajeta, is a good idea.

Cakes started off in ancient Egypt as flat, unleavened breads but today's cakes are light, fluffy, and delicate in texture, or at least they are supposed to be!

How to Cream Butter and Sugar

Tips For Making Light Fluffy Cakes

Many cake recipes will tell you to cream the butter and sugar, but what does this mean exactly? The best way to "cream" butter with sugar is to start off with softened butter. This means it needs to be at room temperature. Add the sugar and use an electric beater to mix it. The mixture is ready when it is smooth and pale.

Add the eggs gradually, so the batter does not curdle. One at a time is usually fine. Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture until just combined. Never over-beat the mixture once you have added the eggs because this stops it from being light and fluffy. Next, add the flour. Use a spatula or wide metal spoon to fold it in.

How to Fold Flour

Folding means gently stirring rather than beating. You do not want to add too much air to the mixture, which is the reason for stirring gently with a wide, flat spoon. Folding in the flour usually takes place once the sugar, butter, eggs, and other ingredients have been well combined. The flour might be mixed with other powdered ingredients, like sugar, salt, or baking powder, before you add it.

Use a rubber spatula or metal spoon. Begin at the back of the mixing bowl, cut vertically through the mixture, across the bowl base, and back up the other side. Rotate the bowl a bit and fold again. This gentle movement combines the flour with the other ingredients. Repeat until the flour is well mixed in.

An Easy Recipe for Vanilla Cake

This recipe makes a nine by nine inch cake or twelve individual cakes. This is a very simple recipe, and you can use the tips above to ensure it comes out perfectly. You can use any frosting to decorate it.

What you will need:

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon melted butter, for greasing
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

How to make it:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use the melted butter to grease a nine by nine inch cake pan, then sprinkle flour over it. Alternatively, line a muffin pan with paper liners. Cream the butter with the sugar, then gradually beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Fold the flour and baking powder into the mixture. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth, and then transfer it to the cake pan or muffin pan.

Bake the cake for half an hour or forty minutes if it is in a cake pan, or about twenty five minutes if you are using a muffin pan. When the cake is springy to the touch, it is ready. Cool on a wire rack and serve.

Using Quince to Make Delicious Desserts

Quince is a relative of pears and apples. The trees have grown around the Mediterranean and in Asia for more than four thousand years, making it one of the earliest known fruits. This fruit was discovered by the ancient Greek armies in Iran and Asia and brought to Greece. Today quinces are grown on the Greek island of Crete. Quince is also available today in the United States, the Middle East and in Latin America. Quinces in Western Asia are juicier and softer than those in the United States.

Quince varies in different regions and in cold climates, the fruit is rich gold in color, has a heady fragrance, and has a firm shape. The rind is rough and the flesh is hard. In a warmer climate, however the fruit can be eaten raw and the woolly rind is not there. Quince is often used to make jellies because of its tart and astringent flavor.

\"Dessert Recipes\"

How to Choose and Store Quinces

Using Quince to Make Delicious Desserts

Firm, big, yellow quince without any green are the best ones. Handle them carefully because they can bruise. Wrap the fruit in plastic and keep them in the refrigerator for up to a couple of months. Quinces are available from September to January.

Quinces are great for baking, poaching, or stewing, to make dessert recipes. They can also be stewed with meat because the high amount of tannins found in quince helps to tenderize the meat.

Membrillo - A Mexican Specialty

Quince is known as membrillo in Spanish and it is cooked into a firm red paste called dulce de membrillo in Spain, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, and Mexico. It is served with manchego cheese in sandwiches or on crackers. There is a similar dish in Hungary and also in Portugal.

Dulce de membrillo is especially popular in Mexico and if you enjoy making Mexican recipes, and especially Mexican dessert recipes, you might like to try making this delicacy yourself.

Recipe for Dulce de Membrillo

You will need:

• 4 lbs quince
• 1 vanilla pod
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 2 strips lemon peel, 2 inches by 1/2 inch

How to make it:

Wash, peel, core and roughly chop the quince and put the pieces in a big pot. Cover the quince with water, and then add the lemon peel. Split the vanilla pod and add it to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce it to a simmer.

Cover the pot and cook the mixture for about half an hour or until the quince is tender. Strain the water. Discard the vanilla. Puree the quince in a blender or food processor.

Measure out the quince puree. You will need the same amount of white sugar. It will be about four cups. Put the quince puree back into the pot and add the sugar. Cook over a low to moderate heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the lemon juice and simmer for about an hour and a half or until the quince paste is deep orange and thick.

Preheat the oven to 125 degrees F. Line an eight by eight inch baking pan with parchment paper, then grease it with melted butter. Pour the quince paste into the prepared pan, and then smooth the top to make it even. Bake for an hour to dry it, and then let it cool. Cut the membrillo into squares and serve it with manchego cheese and bread. Store uneaten membrillo in the refrigerator.

The History of Cupcakes

While no one is quite certain where cupcakes came from, it is known that they made an appearance in the United States sometime in the 19th Century. Called Fairy Cakes in the United Kingdom, cupcakes revolutionized how cake was made and mothers across the land lauded the blessing.

Prior to the introduction of the cupcake to the kitchens of America, cakes were made by weighing the ingredients. Cupcakes were made by measuring the ingredients for the first time. It has been suggested that this is perhaps where the term "cup cake" originated, since everything was measured in cups. Other origins of the name have also been offered, such as the fact they are baked in a cup but at one time, cupcakes were also called "number cakes". This name originated from the recipe, whereby it required "...once cup butter, two cups sugar, three cups flour, four eggs..." At one time, recipes called for cupcakes to be "...baked into little tins."

\"Dessert Recipes\"

Until the turn of the 20th century, cupcake pans were virtually unheard of forcing bakers to use more formidable cups for baking, unless they wanted to bake their small cakes into loaf form. Using hearth ovens, which needed longer cooking times for larger cakes, caused bakers to seek other ways to bake their cake and still have time to eat it. With the advent of the cupcake, not only were bakers able to achieve shorter cooking times, they were also able to change the way they prepared them once the baking part was finished. No longer did bakers need to create larger, heavier cakes. With the production of the cupcake, people could slake their desire for something small and sweet.

The History of Cupcakes

Though cupcakes only recently developed an upsurge in popularity, causing a number of bakeries to specialize in just cupcakes, it was in 1919 when Hostess developed the precursor to the Hostess Chocolate Cupcake. The rich, creamy filling and chocolate icing was popular with consumers and a love affair was begun. Conveniently baked into a single serving, cupcakes provided a quick snack and permitted people to nibble on them whenever they wished. In addition, they were sinfully delicious to but their small size allowed them to feel good about not over eating.

Cupcakes are now common in grocery store, pre-made and pre-iced. The baking aisle is filled with a large variety of cupcake papers, beginning with paper thin and progressing to a firm, rounded edge made of cardboard. So popular is the cupcake small artisan bakeries, creating nothing but cupcakes, have begun to spring up across the country. Selling for an average of to a dozen, they are dear, but if you want cupcakes that are head-turning, sometimes paying someone to decorate them in a unique or unusual way is the best way to go. A more recent trend, gaining in popularity, is cupcake towers in lieu of a more traditional wedding cake.

Eating a cupcake can make you feel young again and with the variety of flavors and frostings that have progressed over the decades, there isn't an appetite or yen that can't be solved with a tasty cupcake.

Origin Of Cheesecake - It's Older Than You Think

Have you ever wondered about the origin of cheesecake? Well, I did and the information that I found was amazing.

If you thought that cheesecake was a recent creation, then you're wrong. The origin of the cake is believed to have originated in ancient Greece. History has the first recorded mention of cheesecake, as being served to the athletes during the first Olympic Games held in 776 BC. The recipe consisted of crushed cheese, wheat flour and one egg. It's not quite the recipe of modern cakes today, but a cheesecake none the less.

\"Dessert Recipes\"

Their first introduction into Western Europe and Great Britain was said to have come from the conquering Roman armies and by 1000 AD was said to be flourishing throughout all of Europe.

Origin Of Cheesecake - It's Older Than You Think

The origin of cheesecake in the Americas was brought over by the immigrants. However, their version relied on cottage cheese to make the cake.

As for the modern version, it's creation began in 1872 with American dairymen, who were said to be trying to recreate French Neufchatel cheese. Instead of recreating it, they happened upon a formula that was more richer and creamier. Their creation: cream cheese.

However, in 1912 James Kraft developed a his own method to pasteurize cheese, in which other dairy product manufacturers soon adopted and offered as cream cheese.

However, the origin of cheesecake being made with cream cheese has been credited to Arnold Reuben, owner of the legendary Turf Restaurant at 49th and Broadway in New York City.

Legend has it that he was served a cheese pie by a friend, which he immediately fell in love with. Not satisfied with his friend's recipe, he began to develop his own. Once perfected, he eventually began to serve it at his restaurant. The cheesecake was said to have become quickly popular with his patrons.

And the rest as they say is history.
