Whether it’s Mother’s Day or just to simply share a plate of baked goods with a new neighbor, spring is the perfect time for baking light and airy cakes, cupcakes and brownies. I know for me personally, I bake a lot and I bake from scratch all year long!
For those of you who like to bake homemade cakes, we’ve got some tips to share with all of you from Nielsen-Massey Vanillas.
* Use cake pans and cupcake tins with a shiny aluminum finish, avoiding those with a dark finish. This will prevent the bottom of your cakes and cupcakes from getting too brown in the oven.
* Check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer to make sure that it is calibrated correctly. While baking, place cake pans in the center of the oven for an even, golden-brown color and perfectly-baked, moist center.
* Allow cakes to cool completely before decorating to keep frostings, glazes and fillings from getting too soft.
* Follow the directions exactly! Different types of cake require different ingredients and methods of mixing. Carefully read and follow the recipe as written to ensure cake-baking success every time.
For this review, I received a complimentary bottle of the Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate Extract to check out for all of you. Crafted from the finest cocoa beans, our Pure Chocolate Extract embodies the uninhibited depth and flavor of dark chocolate. This extract is ideal for adding extra layers of this divine flavor to any recipe with chocolate as the base. Also, use it to add subtle distinction to a wide range of dishes, including beverages, desserts, sauces, chilis and other spicy foods.
My mom and I decided to whip up a batch of brownies and made the Nielsen-Massey Not-So-Blonde Brownies Recipe. As an option, you can add chopped nuts but we omitted them completely from the recipe. These brownies turned out fantastic and were full of wonderful flavor. In addition, I liked that they were moist and not all dry and crumbly like some brownie recipes. Delicious!!!
