Varieties of cake

Before one decides to go for online cake order in Ludhiana, he should at least read about the different cake varieties available out there for satisfying his appetite.

·         Butter cakes – These cakes are made by using creamed butter extensively in the cake mix. Then the batter is then beaten for an extended period of time in order to achieve a smooth flowing texture. These cakes are characterized by their smooth, sweet and slightly damp texture.

·         Sponge cakes – These cakes are highly porous and hence are called sponge cakes. The texture of these cakes is unique in its ‘high’ fluffiness and its relative dryness, when compared to other cakes( unless heavily iced). The batter of these cakes is made as light as possible by using fewer proportions of eggs, sugar and other ingredients in it as a result of which the cake requires little to none leveling agents for baking.

·         Chiffon cakes – Where sponge cakes are dry on tasting, chiffon cakes are moist and slightly ‘damped’ in texture when compared to other cakes. This is achieved by adding vegetable oil to the baking mix.

·         Chocolate cakes – They are simply the cakes mention above only iced with a thick layer of chocolate. Sometimes cocoa powder or melted chocolate is added to the cake mix itself in order to create a uniform chocolaty flavor throughout the cake, from the first bite to the last.

·         Eggless cakes – Especially made for the vegetarians or vegans out there, these cakes substitute the egg in the mix for silken tofu, mashed banana, vinegar, apple sauce, aerated fizzy cold drinks, curd, buttermilk, cornstarch, etc. or simply using a heavy amount of leveling agent in the mix.
