In the last blog, I shared some of the things that can go wrong while baking a cake and how to correct them to get a perfectly baked cake. This blog is a continuation of the same and I’m hoping by the end of this blog you guys will have all your baking-related queries answered!

DEFECT	CAUSE	REMEDY
Tough Cakes	Insufficient tenderizers Flour content high The wrong type of flour	Increase sugar or shortening or both Balance recipe Use correct flour
Thick hard crust	Oven too hot Cakes baked for too long	Reduce oven temperature Reduce baking time
Sticky crust	Sugar content too high Improper mixing	Correct the sugar quantity Use care in mixing
Soggy Crust	Cakes steam in cooling Cakes wrapped while warm	Remove the cakes from the tin and cool on a rack Cool cakes thoroughly before wrapping
Crust cracks	Oven too hot Stiff batter	Reduce oven temperature Adjust flour and liquid content
Heavy Cakes	Too much sugar Too much shortening Liquid content high Insufficient leavening Too much leavening Cakes under-baked	Adjust the cake recipe Bake properly
Cakes too crumbly and light	Batter over-creamed Too much leavening Shortening content too high	Avoid over mixing Adjust the leavening Adjust the shortening
Coarse grain	Leavening content very high Curdled batter	Adjust leavening Avoid adding too much liquids too rapidly while mixing
