    You're are an awesome teacher (and obviously a great baker)! Thanks for this easy-to-follow guide and the video chapters plus the 'whys' behind your recommendations to give a handle for neurodivergent folks like me. It's very ADHD-baker friendly!
    A video like this might look quite straight forward but, as someone who has done teaching, I know it takes a LOT of preparation and work. Well done.

    If youre using an electric scale: turn on, put bowl/pan on, click mode, should be set to 0, add in batter/ingredient. Make sure it is on kg, #, etc.

    Thanks for talking about room temperature butter! I have wondered about that lately. I guess there is a consensus that we all have rooms approx 68-70 degrees!
    In winter, we don't blast the heat and keep our home about 65 degrees so I found that temperature affected my "room temperature" butter.

  • @GrammaPatriot
    @GrammaPatriot Před 10 měsíci

    Thank you for this! That is a perfect cake you showed there. I was concerned that cakes that tall wouldnt bake properly. I do like the strips. One other thing, especially for large cakes but useful for all, the heating cores that you put in center of cake batter…”flower nail” some call them too. They even out the baking process. Thanks again, love your tutorials!

    Oh wow I had no idea that baking strips make a difference, I did wonder how to make cake less of a dome affect. Then it it’ll save a lot of cutting off. Ohh I cannot wait to bake and try this now 😍🥰

    Hi Katie! 🌻
    Thank you for this helpful video, five very good tips.
    I always weigh out my cakes before baking and 99.9% of the time they come out perfect.
    I also do the cake strips to help with the even baking, it does work, just like you showed us.
    Looking forward to your next helpful video, thank you!!
    Have a nice day Katie! 🌷

  • @brendaschafer956
    @brendaschafer956 Před 5 měsíci

    Was looking for help and so very thankful I found you! I'm anxious to try the pan strips. The pans would have to go on a cookie sheet correct? I didn't see any other way to keep them attached. Thank you, I have lots more to watch now🥰

  • @theabdos3516
    @theabdos3516 Před rokem

    I love your videos!! Excellent tips and makes it sound so easy. The home made baking strips - is there a risk they catch fire? How do you avoid that?

  • @monicatomaras1921
    @monicatomaras1921 Před 3 lety +2

    Your videos are very helpful! I love how you explain and demonstrate your points, It really helps to see what is meant by room temperature or weighing the batter. May seem like common sense but when you have a lot going on in the kitchen with distractions, this is great. I do have one question. How long do you recommend before taking the cake out of the pan? I have had inconsistent results and hear a lot of conflicting advice.

    • @BakingButterlyLove
      @BakingButterlyLove  Před 3 lety

      Honestly I'm usually on time crunch so I always take my cakes out as soon as the pan is cooled off enough to handle! But I think it also depends a bit on the cake recipe and how delicate it is.

  • @sarahboyd9096

    I usually use 2" deep pans, if I use 8" diameter 3" inches deep do they need alot longer to cook

  • @kaitlinht
    @kaitlinht Před 3 lety +2

    For your 6x3 inch pans, do you usually fill to 2/3 and about how long do you bake to get it to bake through?

    • @BakingButterlyLove
      @BakingButterlyLove  Před 3 lety +1

      The time totally depends on what cake recipe you're using! But yes generally I don't fill them up much more than 2/3 full.

  • @SeekersSoul

    Thanks for the tips! What I want to know is how to bake THICCCKKK cake layers like in your video cover pic!! Lol do you fill the cake pans like half way and bake at lower temp or something or what??? 😭 I bake normal layers that aren’t too tall but I LOVE those thick beautiful fluffy perfect layers. Please help me out anybody!

  • @MikeKozlow
    @MikeKozlow Před 3 lety +1

    I noticed you put your cake pans on a tray to bake. My question is since the oven has hot and cold spots do you at any time move the position of the pans during the baking?

    • @BakingButterlyLove
      @BakingButterlyLove  Před 3 lety +2

      Luckily my oven tends to bake pretty evenly, but if I'm dealing with hot spots I'll rotate the whole tray halfway through the baking.

  • @wilmafagundesfiga-talamanc7434

    At what temperature and for hiw long (about) do you bake in the 6-inch pan, with the strips? And at which rack do you put these tall pans? Thank you

    • @BakingButterlyLove
      @BakingButterlyLove  Před 3 lety +1

      The temperature and time depends on what kind of cake you are making and how much you fill the pans. I bake most cakes at 325 or 350 F. A lower temperature will take longer to bake the cake, but you will get a more even rise and less browning on the crust. I typically try to keep my oven racks in the center of the oven. For smaller butter cakes (say around 300 grams of batter or less) can start checking around 18-20 minutes, but they may take quite a bit longer. Again, it all depends on the recipe and your particular oven! Hope that helps 💕

    Hi! Helpful tips. Givr me one more solution..i dont know where my inner cake layers fosting go!! Its either whipped out or absorbed when i stack two layers of cake..
    What may the reason of this nd how to fix it?!

    • @BakingButterlyLove
      @BakingButterlyLove  Před 3 lety

      It depends on what kind of cake and what kind of frosting you make! You might try a different recipe, and you could also try putting more filling in between the layers.
