    I tried baking an angel food cake recipe for my first time not too long ago, and was frustrated with how quickly I was destroying my meringue whilst adding the sifted flour. As simple as something like folding might seem to an experienced baker, it really is an important skill to have shown when first starting in baking. Thank you so much for taking the time to show beginners like myself these basic critical skills and techniques!!

    Possibly the best video ever for anyone who wants to bake. Come across so many recipes where folding is crucial, managed to bluff my way through all of them until I got to trying a Chiffon cake. This video explains it all - technique, timing, what it should look like at each stage of the process and when to stop. Thanks so much!

    Thank you so very much for explaining how to fold egg whites into a batter. Your techniques have made me less scared to work with such recipes. I've been cooking and baking for over forty years, and, have steered away from recipes which call for stiffly beaten egg whites whenever I could because of the fear of deflating them. I have done that quite a few times in my life. And, your explanation of how to fold the egg whites in is encouraging. TY for sharing.

    My Mom used to make me a birthday cake for some 50 years plus. As she is no longer with us, I will be attempting to carry on the tradition and trying it myself and you were very helpful in making it a possibility. It is a 7 layer maple vanilla cream with orange extract in the batter.

    I don't bake but I just wqtched a video of someone who was critiqued on his awful folding technique and wondered how to do it. I mostly prefer watching videos with a lot of views because most of the times they're probably more helpful but this video was a perfect tutorial. Great job 👌

    Thanks for this tip! I had always thought that folding was simply mixing gently and my ogura cake had come out kind of dense, but after watching this and trying your method it's much fluffier! Question: there are times when I need to incorporate a pretty stubborn paste (which takes a really long time fold evenly) - is it safe to say that as long as there are still air bubbles in the meringue then it hasn't been overfolded?

    • @TheBakersAlmanac
      @TheBakersAlmanac  3 роки тому

      It's tricky to say when it has been overfolded -- I'd recommend just doing some trial and error to see!

    Very helpful .. this is really tricky for me. Have a question. When you do the ´cut’ in the middle, does the spatula have to run through the bottom of the bowl, like should it be touching the bowl? Im so nervous when i do this that i cut only on top and fold. No wonder my cake sunk!

    • @TheBakersAlmanac
      @TheBakersAlmanac  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, I usually try and make sure the spatula hits the bottom of the bowl so that I get everything when folding. It's definitely a tricky process that takes some time to master!

    I always have problem when it comes to folding melted butter to my batter, though :( It's like having a dilemma not to overmix them and properly mix it so they'll be well incorporated. My melted butter always seems to drown to the down side of the batter and i'm afraid if i don't mix it well enough, the butter will just stay drowned down there and not mixed up. What should i do? :(( Anyway, thanks for your video! It helps a lot💛

    I really really hope this works for me cause I've been trying to bake cupcakes for the longest and it's good but I've had better. I'm aware that I shouldnt mix my flour in too much but even when I try to Fold I feel like I do it for too long so I stop maybe undermixing it sigh

    Your mixture is so thick, what's your ingredients proportion? Because mine is quite watery. I find it difficult to mix it with my meringue cause some of my mixture always drops

    • @TheBakersAlmanac
      @TheBakersAlmanac  3 роки тому

      I beat the egg whites using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, but you could also use a hand mixer. It usually takes a few minutes!

    • @TheBakersAlmanac
      @TheBakersAlmanac  3 роки тому

      This can sometimes happen if you overbeat the meringue - overbeating can cause the proteins to lose their ability to hold the small air bubbles, which can cause the meringue to lose volume or collapse. I hope that helps!
