How To Make Boxed Cake Mix Fluffier And Lighter

Cake mixes cost less and might come together slightly faster than a homemade cake, but their flavor and texture can leave something to be desired. By making a few ingredient changes, you can manipulate a cake mix so it tastes homemade. A light, fluffy texture comes from the addition of egg whites, as well as the use of a light hand during mixing. Adding real vanilla or almond extract to the batter disguises any "cake mix" taste. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or to the temperature indicated on the box, for at least 15 to 20 minutes before you put the cake in the oven.

The cake begins rising immediately in a properly heated oven, which encourages a light, fluffy cake. Separate five eggs, reserving three of the yolks. Place five egg whites in a clean metal bowl. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the egg whites into stiff peaks. Combine the cake mix with the oil and water as directed on the package, plus three egg yolks. Mix the ingredients on low for 30 seconds or just until they combine. Beat the batter for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on medium; be careful not to over mix it or the cake will be tough. Fold the whipped egg whites gently into the cake batter, just until combined. If you beat or stir the cake batter too vigorously, the egg whites deflate. Pour the batter carefully into greased and floured pans.

Set the timer for 5 minutes before you think the cake will be done. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. It's done when moist crumbs appear on the toothpick. Don't overcook the cake, which will cause dryness. Don't use cake mixes that have pudding in the mix. These cakes are almost always denser and moister. If you want a light, fluffy cake, stick with a traditional cake mix. Lose Weight. Feel Great! AGE lbs. WEIGHT ft.

This ice cream recipe was adapted from “Scoop Adventures: The Best Ice Cream of the 50 States” by Lindsay Clendaniel. Recipe makes 1 quart (240 ml). Prepare the frozen boiled ube or purple yam that is already mashed by thawing at room temperature, yet slightly chilled. Drain on a colander to remove excess liquids. Set aside (thaw frozen ube the same day you will mix it in the milk base). In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch. Whisk till the cornstarch is blended and there are no more lumps. In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining milk, heavy cream, coconut milk, sugars and salt.

Mix well. Over medium high heat, bring this mixture to a boil, then lower heat to simmer until sugar gets dissolved. Do this for 3 minutes. Take the milk mixture out off the stove top. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Return the saucepan to the stove. Cook over medium high heat till the milk mixture thickens in about 1 minute, while continuously stirring. Do not stop stirring or mixture sticks to the bottom of the pan. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the mixture cool by setting the pan on a bowl filled with ice water. Cool for about 20 minutes and whisk mixture every now and then.
