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.

Mardi Gras is a big deal mainly because Louisiana is the only state that celebrates it. As always, there is a famous dish that comes along with this holiday and it is King Cake. King Cake is a dessert that is made up of bread, filling, and colorful icing. King Cake was created in the mid-1800s and was made to celebrate the 12th night after Christmas. This dessert represents the coming of the three kings or three wise men (Dave). There are many simple steps to creating a King Cake. After creating the strips of dough for the King Cake, some braids then bakes the strips together which creates the unique look to the dessert. Some people may wonder what makes this thick piece of bread a dessert. Well, after the dough bakes into its unique form, someone splatters icing all over the cake and covers the dough in Mardi Gras colored sprinkles (purple, green and gold). Sometimes King Cakes will be made with different kinds of filling such as, cream cheese, strawberry, apple, or other types. The Mardi Gras colored sprinkles that are on King Cakes symbolize powerful words. Purple stands for justice, green stands for faith, and gold stands for power. The meanings of the colors were created in 1892 during the Rex Parade (Dave). The world’s largest King Cake was baked in 1998 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and it weighed 350 pounds (Dave). There is a secret ingredient that someone inserts in each King Cake and that is
Before you begin, always wash your hands. First we begin by blending with the wooden spoon, in one of the large bowls the brown sugar and the one-cup white sugar. Soften the margarine or butter in the microwavable bowl in the microwave for fifteen seconds. After you add the margarine to the sugar, mix them together. Add the peanut butter to the batter then mix again. In the small cup crack each egg separately, and add the yolk part to the batter and stir. Set the mixture aside for the time being. In the other large bowl measure out and sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Once sifted together, carefully add to the sugar and butter mixture. Blend together carefully. It may take a little elbow grease. Once completely blended, add the vanilla and stir till it is mixed on. The hard part is now over. Make sure that there are no lumps of sugar, pieces of eggshell, and clumps of baking soda. Nobody wants to bite into those! From the batter, scoop out a teaspoon size amount out and roll in your hands until it looks like a sphere. Roll it again, but this time, roll it around in 1/2 cup of white sugar until completely coated. Once achieved, place on the baking sheet.

There are several effects that influence under and over mixing a shortened cake batter. For instance, the "four common methods of mixing cakes are the conventional method, conventional sponge method, muffin method, and quick-mix method. The amount of mixing needed for a high-quality cake varies with the ingredient proportions and the batter quantity. Undermixed cakes may yield a cake of good volume, but the texture is coarse and the cell walls thick. Overmixing tends to produce a compact cake of smaller volume which may have tunnels or become heavy or soggy" (Scheule, M.B.A. B.,2013). I personally, find this information being very interesting because for the most part my cakes have always lacked volume

In the YouTube video, “Classic Chocolate Cake (Vegan and Gluten Free)”, the creator Something Vegan demonstrates her recipe of a vegan and gluten-free chocolate cake. The video starts with the finished product of the chocolate cake and then transitions to an empty bowl. She has captions in the video showing what each ingredient is and then shows them being added one by one to the bowl. She starts with the dry ingredients first, adding oat flour, rice flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. She then whisks the dry ingredients together and starts to add the liquid ingredients of water, oil, vanilla, and vinegar into the same bowl and mixes it into the dry ingredients. She then pours the batter into two metal pans and then transitions the video, showing the cakes once they are baked. The video once again transitions to another empty bowl which is used to make the frosting. She starts with adding powdered sugar, cocoa, and vegan
