White Cake Testing Week

Last weekend I embarked on finding the perfect made from scratch White Cake recipe.  Who knew this would be so challenging to find a recipe, tweek it to get it to taste just the way you want....
It has also been a learning experience  in the science of baking -
learning about Baking Powder, Baking Soda, different types of flours and why they are used in combination with other ingredients that make the cake rise, fall, become dense, light and fluffy, tender, dry and hosts of other events that happen as you learn the basics of cake baking...
What I thought would be simple has certainly made me realize that baking is a true science unlike cooking....adding a pinch of this and a little of that is not what you want to do when designing your scratch recipe.

The baking will continue....see you in the kitchen...
