Best Chocolate Cake

My earliest memory of my mother baking, is of her making cupcakes and of her sharing the dried fruit that she was putting in them, with my brothers and myself. She liked the dried fruit, not only for the taste and texture, but of course, the fruit was good for us.

In those days the mixture was beaten by hand using a hand beater and after it had been transferred to patty pans and put in the oven to bake, my mother gave my brothers and I the bowl, mixers and utensils she had used, to lick clean, yummy.

Of course, there was generally a heated discussion (as only siblings can do) as to who should have what to lick.

Happy memories of times gone by!

How to Make the Perfect Cake

No matter what the recipe, we always strive for the perfect cake, but what is a perfect cake?

This will all depend on who you talk to, particularly when it comes to flavor, icing type and the like. However, there are some basic things you can do to make any flavor or variety of cake turn out nearly perfect! Here are a couple of simple tips you can add to your trick box.

Pudding?

Adding pudding to your cake recipe became so popular some dry mix manufacturers actually began offering select varieties with it already in the mix.

Baking Process

Outside of ingredients, your baking process is very important to the perfect cake. Pre-heating your oven is absolutely necessary as is knowing whether you have hot spots or not.

Temperature is important for many reasons not the least of which is drying out, bake it too long and your cake will be dry, too hot and the top will crack, too cool (without preheating) a crust will develop before the cake rises causing it to fall.
