The best tricks to make perfect cakes

Desserts are like math: 1 of the pieces of advice that all the great chefs in desserts give is that when it comes to cooking desserts, times are very important, much more than in other types of recipes, so taking measurements by eye as we could do with other types of dishes does not help us here. must be valid, and here we must be rigorous both in the times and in the measurements

Read each recipe carefully: It may seem like absurd advice at first, but it is very important to have read the recipe two or 3 times before starting the recipe and to have the ingredients perfectly arranged on the table so as not to waste time in case we detect that we are missing something and therefore could do bad some of the times.

ingredients at room temperature: It is important that unless the recipe explicitly indicates it (such as something to whip cream that must be very cold), if it does not indicate it, the ingredients must be at room temperature for a correct preparation of the dessert.

Preheat the oven : For recipes that use an oven, it is important to have it preheated beforehand, so when we finish working with our Thermomix and we have to put it in the oven, it will already be at the correct temperature and we will be able to cook the times perfectly without having to waste time for the oven to cook. proper temperature

use correct pan sizes: It is important to use the size indicated in the recipe since we use smaller or larger ones, the times indicated may not be adequate.

When the dough is ready, put it immediately in the oven: It is important that when the dough is ready and placed in the proper container, we quickly put it in the oven at its proper temperature as well, since many of the desserts contain yeasts and eggs, the effect of which disappears over time.

do not open the oven door: if we open the oven door especially during the first half of cooking the dough could collapse

The toothpick trick: we can tell if our cake is ready using what is called the toothpick trick. It is nothing more than taking a wooden skewer, putting it in the middle of the cake, piercing it and taking it out again if the toothpick is clean when we take it out, the cake can be taken out of the oven, if not, it may still lack a bit

let the cake cool on the wire rack: Once our cake has finished in the oven and we take it out, we must place it on a rack to cool for at least 10 or 15 minutes.
the grid provides a correct air flow for the cooling of the cake or cake

Seal the tart with jam before covering it with icing: If you’ve ever wondered why frosting looks so good in bakeries but doesn’t look so good at home, this is the answer. It is important to first put the very hot jam on top of the cake and light it in such a way that it will cover the poles of the cake and let the jam cool. once the jam is cold we can glaze it on top and the glaze will hold perfectly.
