ingredients for making gato cakes

To make beautiful cakes, you must first understand
the ingredients that make them

Flour
Making gato cake we will have 2 main parts: the cake base and the cake decorating cream, right? Gato cake is one of the indispensable ingredients. For the simplest way of making a cake, we will need the flour and cornstarch in the recipe to make the perfect cake.

When I first started with this type of bread, I used all-purpose flour. This type of flour is extremely handy and can be used in many types of cakes, including gato cakes. And one of the advantages of all-purpose flour is very easy to find. As long as you find a grocery store and ask for flour, most of the products you have in your hand will be all-purpose flour. All-purpose flour can be used to make gato cakes and in my experience, the quality of the cake does not matter much, just our orchids will have a slightly heavy texture and not smooth Just like a cake in a shop!

When I had a closer look at all kinds of flour in baking, namely after about 4-5 cookie cakes made of all-purpose flour, I switched to cake flour. Most professional bakers also use cake flour to make gato instead of all-purpose flour. And the results I received are quite unexpected, the cake remains light, softer than a lot, the porosity also increases significantly. Currently, cake flour you can find in big supermarkets or stores selling baking materials with relatively cheap price.

One of the indispensable flour in the recipe is gato cake is cornstarch. Until now cornstarch has been used as an auxiliary in baked goods, and gato cakes are no exception. The cornstarch in the ingredients makes our gato cake shape better, stands better! However, you have to adhere to the weight in the recipe, your "bloody" experience is once you miss too much cornstarch but your cake is almost unable to bloom and is too heavy, generally carpet. art.

In some modified formulas to create a special flavor for gato cake base, we can use other types of flour such as cocoa powder, green tea powder, etc.

Eggs, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla
If only the flour wasn't available, we certainly wouldn't be able to make gato. To have a fluffy texture for the cake base, egg whisk is indispensable. In addition, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla are also important ingredients to bring delicious flavor to our cake.

First, let's talk about eggs first! Eggs used in making cakes must be chicken eggs, do not use duck eggs if you do not want our cake dyed the fishy smell of eggs! A gato loaf with a diameter of about 20cm, we will have to use about 4 industrial chicken eggs with a weight of about 30-35 grams. In the egg white we will beat the cotton along with the sugar until it hardens and forms the tip of the whisk. The yolks will also be used to mix together to create a nice fleshy, greasy and yellow color for the cake.

Milk is also one of the important ingredients when making gato. Because the recipe in this part uses eggs, fresh milk will be the best method to be able to both sweeten and deodorize the eggs to help the flavor of the cake is more delicious. Milk cake, you should use fresh milk of Long Thanh or Anchor will give better results!

If you have eggs and milk, don't forget the butter in the recipe. In fact, not only gato but also many other types of cakes also have butter in the ingredients. Nowadays there are many types of avocado on the market, such as unsalted butter, salty butter, margarine, etc. I usually choose unsalted butter (animal butter) to taste the most perfect product. Avocados are usually stored solid and refrigerated, but when using them to make gato cakes, you should leave them soft at room temperature for easier manipulation.

As for sugar, this is not only a raw material for sweetening cakes but also an indispensable ingredient when making gato. In the process of baking, sugar itself is the type of material that creates more moisture so that the cake can hatch properly. I usually do not have the habit of replacing sugar with any other sweetener, so I have not imagined that if the cake did not contain sugar, what would it be!

The remaining ingredients that make the flavor of your gato cake so perfect are vanilla. Usually I will use vanilla extract (the kind with dark brown color). I once tried making gato without vanilla to compare the flavors, and after that, I decided that vanilla is also one of the indispensable ingredients if you want a delicious, attractive gato cake .

Creamy decoration
In fact, there are many types of ice cream you can use to decorate the cake, for example, I used to use whipping cream, topping cream and butter cream. This article I will not say how to make the details of each cream, but will talk about the advantages and some limitations of each type for you to choose offline!

Whipping cream: The biggest advantage of this cream is probably easy to find, most large supermarkets sell, so even where you live, there are no stores selling baking materials, you can find them to buy. Make a cake. This cream is white, so it's quite easy for you to create color!

The limitation of whipping cream is probably because the cream texture is quite soft, so the cream will not stand and will quickly flow, down the definition of your details.

Topping cream: After a series of "chicken" days using whipping cream to decorate, I switched to topping cream and feel like I have found the truth of my life. Topping cream is actually quite similar to whipping cream, but the texture is much more creamy. That's why the topping cream is extremely sharp, the topping cream also holds the cream much longer than the whipping cream.

Buttercream: Lately, decorating gato cake with buttercream has emerged as a phenomenon, and finally, I've been caught up in this "whirlpool of life", trying to decorate cake with buttercream. The results received are also very positive! Myself and my family like the taste of buttercream more than topping and whipping cream. Not only that, when mixing the color to decorate, the butter cream also becomes more vivid and beautiful than the other two types of cream. The only drawback of this cream is probably a bit expensive compared to other cake decorating creams.

Note when choosing ingredients for making cakes (gato): With my experience, the quality of raw materials greatly affects the quality of the finished cake, especially with a cake like cake. So when choosing ingredients for baking, the only advice for you is to choose the best, freshest ingredients possible. Especially flour and butter. Delicious butter will cost a little bit high, but you can rest assured that the results you get will be completely worth what you spent there. And with flour, you should also choose new dough, avoid using old dough to make our cake the best!
