The Milk of Cake-kindness
Whole Milk for the Win
Use whole milk for a richer cake. Skim milk is like diet soda—sure, it’s healthier, but it doesn’t taste nearly as good. If you’re feeling fancy, try buttermilk for a tangy twist. Whole milk adds fat and moisture, which are essential for a tender and flavorful cake. The richness of whole milk enhances the overall taste and texture of your baked creation.
Don’t Drown Your Batter
Add milk slowly, like you’re gently watering a delicate plant. Too much milk too fast, and your batter will be a soupy mess. Think of it as giving your cake a spa day, not a tsunami. Properly adding milk ensures the right consistency, helping your cake bake evenly and rise well. This careful approach prevents over-mixing and maintains a smooth, velvety batter.
