    I can help you out with Chetna's cake: 1) Eggs. A US large egg is a UK medium egg. 2) US self-raising flour is 1 cup flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. UK self-raising flour is 1 cup flour plus 2 tsp baking powder. Those two things alone will throw your recipe off. Oh - and Happy Birthday!

    The Italian buttercream still tastes like butter usually because it wasn't mixed enough, on the other end of the spectrum the cake was probably over mixed making it dense. I was skeptical about throwing all the ingredients in together at once.

    Tip from someone that did grocery store cake decorating, if you're trying to do drips, go around the edge first and get the drips (pipping bag works best if you have one but you can use a spatula or spoon too) and then fill in the top. Makes it so you're drips are done when the chocolate or whatever is warmest and thus leaves you with the best results

    My dad was the cook/baker in the family. He had 2 cake failures that I remember from the distant past. The first was an orange cake. He used the juice from canned oranges in the batter. The cake would not bake and it dense like no other cake I've had. Tasted good but just - so wrong. The second was a chocolate cake and he put pudding in the cake mix. Not instant but the kind you have to cook. That was the driest chocolate cake I have ever had. I soaked a piece in milk - it was dripping - and the cake was still dry.

  • @shelovethegtv4749
    @shelovethegtv4749 2 роки тому +196

    I think the second one came out like that bc when someone throws all the ingredients in at the same time, it so easy to overmix and have the gluten development go overboard and cause the cake to become so dense

    • @miawilliams6183
      @miawilliams6183 2 роки тому +27

      Agreed, I've made many cakes over the years and over mixing is one of the most common mistakes. Not surprised it has the texture of cornbread.

    • @Lawn_Clippings29
      @Lawn_Clippings29 2 роки тому +19

      Yep, that's why most recepies call for mixing the dry and wet ingredients separately only to combine them together at the end. Gluten development starts once the flour is wet; throwing everything together takes longer to mix fully and thus creates more gluten.

    • @vaishnavisingh9244
      @vaishnavisingh9244 2 роки тому +10

      I think the ingrediants are different in UK and US, since I have done this whole throws all ingredients together and it came out fine (as long as you use good baking powder and baking soda) you just need to be aware of where you're mixing and where you're just letting it overmix. I almost never use stand mixer for this purpose alone

  • @tommynguyen7752
    @tommynguyen7752 2 роки тому +232

    11:54 in the original recipe creator’s defense, European-style buttercreams (Italian, Swiss, French) can be a bit of an acquired taste for people who grew up eating canned frosting or American buttercream with lots of powdered sugar. You can try adding more melted chocolate to it if you want it less buttery and more of the flavor you are going for.

    • @k1tukwfyer
      @k1tukwfyer 2 роки тому +16

      Honestly, I love European buttercream, but I almost exclusively make French, German, or ermine. Italian and Swiss are gorgeous and straight-forward, but... Yeah. Somehow they taste less like butter and more like crisco to me, and I have no idea why. Egg yolks and/or pudding 4 lyfe.

    • @wrathika
      @wrathika 2 роки тому +11

    • @Keijiko
      @Keijiko 2 роки тому +6

      Yeah was thinking the same thing, I love Swiss the most personally, but it's not sweet enough for me so I always add some powdered sugar at the end to taste. Still not nearly as sweet as American Buttercream though

    • @lss8713
      @lss8713 2 роки тому +10

      Excellent point! I love Swiss meringue buttercream, but mind you, this is coming from someone who scrapes off the frosting of most American cakes because they're too sweet. I have a huge sweet tooth, but American buttercream has always been too much for me...

  • @Brooksie603
    @Brooksie603 2 роки тому +35

    It seems that there is a good reason to mix wet and dry separately. To avoid a dense cake? Also, the UK and the US ingredients I'm sure differ quite a lot. That's a bummer that the Food with Chetna cake didn't come out how you thought. Maybe you can try it again with subtle changes that people from the UK suggested might help. Then if it worked out better you can do a little follow-up video about it. I don't think people realize that baking directions for recipes can be very different if done in another country so it might be helpful for people in the US to see that.

    I've made Claire's cake with the reverse creaming method and I found the texture came out a bit more bread like than I'm used to for cake. (Not completely like bread--it was definitely still cake, but it had more gluten development which made it seem like it was on the dry side) I realize reverse creaming gives a much flatter top to the baking, but I'd rather do regular creaming and cut the tops off. Anyway Happy belated birthday David!

    • @sarahmcdonough7713
      @sarahmcdonough7713 2 роки тому +6

      Haven’t made Claire’s cake, but the recipes I’ve made that used reverse creaming were also way denser than traditional creaming. I guess a denser or tighter crumb is good for structure when stacking a lot of layers, or holds up better over time. But I also prefer the light fluffy texture you get with traditional creaming, cutting off domes isn’t that much work for a nicer result imo!

      so in reverse creaming you’re supposed to mix very little? that might have been the mistake i made, i was following claire’s video and she mentioned that the batter needs to be mixed towards the end more than a traditional creaming cake would be mixed, so maybe i mixed it too much because my cake rose a lot.
