Halloween Cake Recipes - Make These Special Treats!

Most of us take interest in baking while some of us are discovering our newfound interest in cake making! This article is meant for both groups of people! Even if you are baking for years, there are times when your cakes don't turn out to be successful. Maybe it is time for you to brush up on your skills. And for beginners, this list of tricks and hacks will surely enable you to perfect the first attempt at the Halloween cake. Let us begin with it, shall we?

Useful Hacks to Make Halloween Cake Recipes

1. Softening butter at room temperature is highly essential- you must be knowing this but for those who have missed this easy hack, never use butter that is hard and just brought out of the refrigerator! Instead, you should grate the butter in a bowl and then allow it to soften and melt so that there is no lump created in the cake mixture later.

2. Then melt the chocolate- if you are planning to bake a chocolate cake then, of course, you need melted liquid chocolate! The best way in which you can melt chocolate involves using a bain-marie, half-filling a saucepan with water, bringing it to a simmer, and placing the bowl of chocolate melts on top. You also have to be careful that the bottle does not touch the bottom or it shall get overheated.

3. Cream the butter and eggs- the eggs are then added to the butter and beat well! This is an essential step to ensure that the sense of fluffiness is reached and a crumbly texture is also achieved with the aid of this method.

4. Sifting the flour- the more you rise the flour, it will get even more aerated and gives a fluffy texture to the cake at the end. Hence sifting is an essential technique that you should make use of.

5. Maintaining the temperature while baking- preheat the oven for about twenty minutes and then start baking! Make sure that you are using a conventional oven which is ideal for cake baking! However, if you do not have one then the best idea is to work at a temperature reduced by 20°F to attain the conventional state.

6. Things to ensure while baking- never open the doors while you are baking at least during the first half! You may check later by inserting a toothpick to see whether the cake is prepared. If the toothpick comes out clean after piercing then you can rest assured that the cake is done. Allow the cake to cool down for about ten minutes at room temperature before you begin working on the icing.

7. While you apply the icing- we recommend you always ice on a baking sheet placed over a wire rack! The ideal situation for icing is when the cake is cooler than the icing! This certainly gives a smooth finish to the cake.

8. An impressive decoration- an impressive decoration for baking the cake is highly essential as you ice the cake! Whether you are doing it for kids or adults, proper icing is the game changer. The better the decoration, the more appreciation will the cake receive from the guests! With Halloween cakes, decoration is a very important part of baking.

9. Cleaning the cake tins- if you have applied oil or melted butter on the tin cans then it is essential for you to clean the baking tins before. On the other hand, if there are burnt regions then you have to use a non-abrasive scrubber to clean the cake tins. This is essential to prevent damaging the non-stick coating.

10. How long can you store a cake-

If there is no frosting or icing that has been applied to the cake, then you can wrap it in butter paper or plastic and it will last in the refrigerator for up to three months. If you have applied the icing and do not wish to refrigerate or freeze, then the frosting will protect the cake from moisture for up to four days. In case you have cut a slice then cover that region with icing too so the cake remains fresh overall.
