    If the cake is very hard.

    It's your flour problem.

    It is best to use low-gluten flour.

    It is specialized in making cakes.

    Because it is not easy to get tendoned.

    Cake gluten will make the cake taste sticky.

    And it is easy to collapse.

    If you don't have low-gluten flour.

    Flour for home use is also fine.

    Mix the egg yolk with the flour to be lighter.

    Do not stir constantly, blend evenly.

    Grains without flour will do.

    Then there's the problem that your cake won't be sent.

    It's just that the egg whites are not sufficient.

    The biggest problem for many newbies is that the protein is insufficient.

    Make cakes at home because there is no professional equipment for cake shops.

    So it does take some effort to whip the egg whites.

    The egg whites are beaten to the milky white colloid.

    Pick it with chopsticks.

    Stand up your chopsticks. The egg whites are pointed but not falling.

    is a successful protein.

    But it can't be beaten either.

    Foaming the egg whites will also cause cakes.

    collapsed. Never mind.

    It's going to be like this when you just do it.

    Just try a few more times and you're good to go.

    That's a lot to say.

    Hope is not written in vain.

    Hope it helps you solve your problem.

    Put too much flour...

    Sugar has the function of hygroscopicity and hydration (sugar can be turned into water when heated), so the more sugar you put in the cake, the softer and moister the taste.

    It must be that the egg whites are not beaten well.

    If the sugar does not fuse well, it will harden when precipitation occurs.

    Just plain cake with coloring.

    Then a few embryos were put together.

    Cake shops generally don't make it.

    Their cake crusts are all the same.

    You won't be able to do such a troublesome job and not make much money because of a customer.

    It is recommended that you do not eat this cake either.

    Most are pigments.

    Eating is not good for your health

    Put too much flour, and don't have too much sugar! Your question is too brief, it's better to explain it plainly!!

    Put a little minus when mixing the dough, and put baking powder when the dough is rising.

    If you can't mix the noodles again, put an egg on it.

    Dear, the cake may be made very hard because: 1. It may be that the amount of sugar, milk powder and oil is not enough, and the amount of eggs is too much. Sugar, milk powder, grease and eggs are all ingredients that are easy to color, and adding too much will cause a thick layer on the epidermis, which will make the surface hard.

    2. It may be that the flour is used incorrectly, the gluten of the flour should not be too high, it is best to use all-purpose flour or low-gluten flour, otherwise it will also lead to the hardness of the cake. 3. It may also be that the fermentation time is too long, and the basic fermentation time should be well controlled, especially in summer, generally about 30 minutes, and the fermentation will cause the baked cake to be harder and the taste is not very good. 4. Insufficient proofing time is also one of the reasons why the cake is hard and hard, and the proofing time needs to be controlled at 1-1

    About 5 hours, if the proofing is not enough, there will be no slight natural shaking when touched by hand, and the cake will be hard when baked. When baking cakes, the oven needs to be preheated to the specified temperature before the electric oven can fully bake the food and make the food more delicious. It usually takes about 10 minutes to warm up the electric oven.

    If you preheat the electric oven and bake it for too long, it may affect the service life of the electric oven. If you find that the cake is a little burnt after baking, you can cover the food with a layer of aluminum foil, or open the oven door slightly to dissipate the heat.

    There are the following:1. When making cakes, the quality of flour directly affects the quality of the product.

    2. It may be that the amount of sugar, milk powder and oil is not enough, and the amount of eggs is too much.

    3. Before baking the cake, the oven must be preheated, otherwise the softness and elasticity of the baked cake will be affected.

    Caution for consumption:1. Fresh milk cake must be eaten on the same day, and the taste is not very good the next day 2. Compared with the decorated cake, the fresh milk cake has a light, low-fat and high nutrition, and has gradually become the new favorite of the pastry market, but its shelf life is short and not easy to store.

    3. If diabetic patients must eat, they must choose cakes with sugar substitute additives and eat them in small amounts.

    "Good bread may not change the world, but it will give guests a good start to every day."

    On a side street in the heart of Liverpool, England.

    Baltic Bakehouse is quietly located on the corner of a red brick block, but you don't have to look small with this cramped and crowded shop.

    Especially during the lunch break at noon.

    It's crowded and crowded.

    This family bakery has only opened since 2013.

    But it's known as Liverpool's best bread bakery.

    The bread in the shop is often sold out before closing.

    Business is good enough for guests.

    Online booking is the only way to guarantee the purchase of the desired product

    The bread baked in the store is also used to make meals for the top restaurants in the city, this small bread bakery.

    It was founded by siblings Sam and Grace Henley, who frequented a traditional bakery when they were young.

    The shop smells fragrant, and the crusty white bread is huge.

    Bagels are the love of the brother and sister.

    Sadly, the bakery closed about 10 years ago.

    So the siblings dug out a book on their mother's bookshelf and began to bake their own bread.

    Keep flipping through new books.

    I also learned the techniques of bread baking online.

    The siblings became more and more skilled and became more and more interested in bread baking.

    The joy of kneading the dough with their own hands is unmatched for them.

    Another story of a foodie's successful counterattack).

    Even if you run a bakery with a very good reputation.

    For the brother and sister.

    Baking hundreds of loaves of bread a day is also a difficult but interesting challenge: temperature, flour and the type of bread baked that day.

    can affect the final quality of the bread.

    Due to the handmade factor.

    I haven't gone through much systematic and professional training.

    The siblings are still not 100% confident that they will get a perfect piece of bread when they open the oven door.

    But every time they opened the oven, they found 20 good loaves of bread lying inside.

    They will still feel pure joy.

    It's this wonderful feeling.

    Keep them up at 4 a.m., almost every day.

    Sam and Grace think.

    It's like whiskey, or wine.

    Each bakery has its own unique flavor.

    And the bread at Baltic Bakehouse is hearty, tasty, and healthy.

    Long fermentation.

    The most moderate baking time makes them traditional sourdough bread.

    It has a crispy shell and a soft interior.

    There are two main reasons why the bottom of baked cakes is always hard, the first is that the egg slurry does not completely foam quickly, so after baking, the bottom of the cake is always hard and hard. The reason why the cake oil is not completely dissolved is that the cake oil will also cause the cake oil to sink to the bottom and become a hard lump.

    Solution: 1. When beating the egg pulp, the best egg temperature is between 17 and 22, and it is necessary to pay attention to flexible adjustment according to the season. When the temperature is low in winter, the beaten egg can be properly heated. Note that the temperature should not be too high, such as egg whites when exceeding 60.

    Denaturation will occur, which will affect the initiation, and the heating temperature should be mastered.

    2. The cake oil must be added before the rapid stirring, and it can be completely dissolved after the rapid stirring is completed, which will also help the cake oil not sink to the bottom and become a hard lump.

    When baking a cake, you need to pay attention to the processing of milk, when making a cake, there are usually two steps in the processing of cow dismantling milk, one step is weighing, weighing needs to be more accurate, choose a gram scale to weigh, the second step is milk heating, when heating, control the heat, and turn off the fire immediately after the milk bubbles.
