High-Fat or Butter Cakes

High-fat cakes are made by using creaming method. Solid fat, usually butter, is creamed with sugar until it becomes light, pale and expands in volume. This procedure incorporates air into the mixture, and during baking air cells spread and leaven the cake. After creaming fat, eggs are mixed into the fat which emulsifies the mixture. It is possible to add whole eggs or just egg yolks, and in that case, remaining egg whites are mixed separately into meringue and folded into the mixture at the end. At the end flour and other ingredients are added.
