So, what's in a white cake?
The white cake starts with typical base cake ingredients, but only theEgg whites are used in this recipe. For grease, Shea says that the oil is commonly used, rather than butter, keep the cake as white as possible.
"The white cake will be the lightest and most ventilated", Shea notes. "The cake's regulation can be brought to egg whites, but also the mixing method. While whisking the egg whites, then bend them in the dough, you will make a lightness in your cake."
How does the yellow cake differ?
The yellow cake uses butter like grease and calls entire eggs. The combination of both creates the yellow color of the signature of the dough, while maintaining a neutral flavor. In addition, because of the butter and egg yolks, the yellow cake has tasted richer than the white cake.
What about the vanilla cake?
The third in this trio of confesctions comparable has an obvious difference. Of course, white and yellow cakes include vanilla, but it's just a small component of these recipes. The vanilla cake, on the other hand, allows the classic flavor to be the star of the show.
According to Shea, the vanilla cake can be done with a combination of eggs andbig that the baker prefersAs long as you are heavy on vanilla, you can really taste it.
When should I use these different cakes?
If you prefer aFilling fruit and butter icing (as you could see on a wedding cake), Shea suggests a neutral white cake or vanilla cake.
Chocolate Lovers, however, should go with yellow cake, according to Shea. She rarely deviates from the traditional yellow cake combination with chocolate icing or chocolate ganache.
Not much of an icing fan? The vanilla cake also works well for a naked cake, where you want the sponge shines instead of the glaze.
And if you are a Java junkie, Shea suggests brushing your white cake with aCoffee liquor. The disadvantage of the airy cake will soak this right away. After that, she says you can tap it with a chocolate mousse. Trust us, your sweet tooth is about to be very happy!
