FAQs
Q: Why is it important to sift the dry ingredients?
A: Sifting the dry ingredients, like flour, baking soda, and baking powder, prior to combining them helps ensure that the Tandy Cake rises and produces a light and delectable texture.
Q: How much time should be spent creaming the butter and sugar together?
A: It’s important to cream the 8 tablespoons of softened butter and 1 cup of white sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This helps trap air in the mixture, creating airy characteristics that give the finished product a delicious taste.
Q: Why is it important to break the eggs and beat them separately before adding them to the mixture?
A: Separately breaking and beating the eggs prior to adding them to the batter, not only helps ensure that they are evenly combined, but also helps create a light and buttery texture. The eggs trap air in the batter as it bakes, with the air pockets adding texture and lightness to the cake.
