Cake Baking Measuring Utensils


Baking is a science as well as an art, and the key to better baking is understanding the chemical forces at play. (Alan Henry, 2016). In my recent cake baking adventure I have found this statement to be true. Therefore measuring properly is a crucial part of successful cake baking. This could be the difference between perfectly baked cakes and not-so-perfect ones. Therefore careful measurement of ingredients is essential. In order to achieve this you must be equipped with the following measuring tools/utensils.

Measuring Cups

There are two types of measuring cups that should  be used for cake baking. The first type is used to measure solids like flour and sugar and are typically made in 1/4,  1/3, 1/2 3/4 and 1 cup.  The second types is used to measure liquids like milk or water and are make in 250 mL (approx. 1 cup) to 1000 mL (approx. 4 cups = 2 pints = 1 quart),












Measuring Spoons

Measuring spoons range from 1/8 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, and 1 tablespoon.

          


 Kitchen Scale

A scale, is more precise to measure by weight than  measure by scooping.  Kitchen Scales can measuring units pounds/ounces or grams. 

*I have learnt that using a kitchen scale can be a faster and more precise method of measuring and every ingredient can be weight.
