All about Cakes & Cookies Baking

Funz:

It is slightly richer then the Kraft low fat that I used. I am also not a fan of those heavy cheese cakes and I find both types of cheese I used ok for me.


If you are concerned about it being too cheesy then don't ommit the lemon juice and use the low fat cream cheese.

By the way if you are successful with this using your current mixer, you can make your chiffon cake as well. This cake is actually more delicate then chiffon cake as it is almost souffle like. Don't remove it from the oven too quickly once it is baked as it may collapse if the temperature change is too drastic. Open the oven door slightly and let the cake cool in there.

Funz, thank u again.
oh yes, often don't have the patience to wait for the cake to cool slightly b4 removal from the oven. :lol:

My DS helped me with the icing and the gummies on top (his request)

I added sprinklers and Hershy's kisses as toppings for this one.


The mix is from a brand called Greens. It includes both the mix and the icing. No artificial colours or flavours.

The pkt looks like this, except that this one is for baking gingerbreadman cookies.

Anyone ever try not to bake the cake but to steam the cake. My mom back home is selling steamed brownie cake

K. Just checked my fridge. It's Australian Cheese from Tatura Cheese Industries. Never heard of. Haha.

ok....btw, is the cheese taste strong? (prefer a lighter one)

Try making it with Philadelphia Cream Cheese, it taste great!
Will alway use Philadelphia Cream Cheese for any recipe calling for cream cheese.

Dear all,

I tried to bake an orange chiffon cake last weekend, but it turned out to be too stiff, not soft at all. I followed this recipe :
http://ironchefshellie.com/2010/07/09/pohs-orange-chiffon-cake/

What could be the problem ?

I suspect I did not beat the egg whites long enough. How long should I beat them ?

Not sure what is the meaning of \"Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture\", just stir around with a spatula will do right ?

I also did not invert the cake tin, is this essential ?

Tamarind,
You can try this recipe

Philadelphia cream cheese is the best. Very nice for spreads too. But very fattening.
