Well, one may face many challenges. From running out of ingredients to not getting the right consistency for the batter, many things can spoil the mood. Another common problem that bakers often face is struggling to remove the cake from the pan. Once the cake comes out of the oven, it needs to cool down for some time. When it is time to take it out, you may find yourself in a situation that seems like an endless struggle. But don’t worry, bakers, we are here to help you as always.
Here’s how to get your cake out of the pan easily:
All you need to do is warm the cake pan by dipping it in a bowl of hot water for a few seconds. You can also wrap a warm, damp towel around the bottom of the pan. This will help warm the sugars and fats in the cake, allowing it to release easier from the pan. Before flipping it over, run an offset spatula along the edges of the cake to help loosen it. Then, simply place a wire rack or plate on top of the cake tin and flip it over.

1. How to make sure your cookies don’t spread?
Cookies can be tricky to make, as they often spread. To prevent this, make sure to put the cookie dough in the fridge for a few minutes before baking. By doing this, you allow the fat to harden, and this way, it doesn’t start melting right away. Let it cool a bit, then shape it and bake it. Also, make sure there is enough flour to hold the fat. If there is less flour, and more fat, the cookies will spread.
2. How to soften butter taken out from the refrigerator without melting it?
Well, it is quite simple. All you need to do is take hard butter straight from the fridge and grate it in a bowl. The texture of the butter will still be the same, but its new shape will automatically make it easier to work with. You can now use this grated butter to mix with flour, sugar or any other ingredients you need.
