Rose said that with "minor modifications of the baking powder, this recipe works in any size or shape pan". I didn't want a full cake and decided on cupcakes, but Rose didn't say what the "minor modification" was. After checking the index, there is a recipe for the same cake but in cupcakes on page 298. The baking powder adjustment was indeed minor. Pressing onward, I prepared the easy batter baking in cupcake papers. I weighed the batter to have the same amount in each cupcake. I had some bittersweet ganache in the freezer that I wanted to use. I melted it over water with some milk chocolate chips to come up with an approximation of the Milk Chocolate Ganache. It was good. The cake is lovely with a soft fine crumb. There are children visiting next door, so they were the perfect recipients of these delicious treats. This cake will be on my list when I need a lovely white cake. I am sorry to have been absent for many weeks. As with others, my holidays were a fun and busy time. Lots of cooking and sharing, but not always the assigned recipes from my online cooking groups. We have friends visiting and will be taking them on a photographic trip to several Colonial cities in central Mexico. I may not be back to the schedule until late January. A belated Happy New Year to all. Take care, lola
wow..you actually weigh the batter for the cupcakes? how do you do that? I always wonder how to measure weight it without taking too much time.
ReplyDeleteFaithy, I just put the paper cup on the digital scale and spoon in. My honey even said - "you are weighing the batter??" It makes it easier than guestimating. Give it a try sometime. Take care
ReplyDeleteif you have a tare function on your scale, you can put the whole cupcake tin on the scale, fill a cupcake cup, hit tare (which brings the scale back to zero) and fill the next cupcake cup, hit tare, etc. it makes me feel all professional :)
ReplyDeleteWow! evil cake lady, I will have to try that. Sure would impress my honey! This communication is so great - I love it. Thanks!
