  • Claire Saffitz teaches us the ins and outs of the sweet stuff spread between cake layers, with tropical twists, creamy caramels, and of course, chocolate. Lot and lots of chocolate. As far as cakes go, it’s what’s on the inside that counts! (Well, that and the frosting.) Bon Appétit's Baking School is in session!

    @agustinamiranda5786 Před 5 lety +213

    In Argentina we, most likely, use syrup( just water and sugar, maybe a little alcohol, o vainilla, cooked up) to soak the cake, but the rule is, "if your cake is cool, use the syrup warm, and if your cake is warm, use your syrup cold" not both at the same temperature, because, if both things are warm, you're gonna have a desintegrated cake, and if your put both things cold (the soak/syrup and the cake) the cake will absorb the littlest amount, and againg, it will taste like a dry cake (even with the filling)
    PS: i love all the staff at Bon appetit ❤️

    • @escapee8598
      @escapee8598 Před 5 lety +23

      it's not only in argentina, this type of syrup is pretty popular all over the world. in the usa they call it 'simple syrup'. here claire just shows different soaks to compliment different cake flavours.
      simple syrup is universal, but it doesn't give much flavour and obviously, doesn't compliment anything. you can use different soaks (just infuse sugar syrup with essences or other liquids) to add or juxtapose different flavours. cherry wine/non-alcoholic syrup for black forest cake, fruit soaks for more 'tropical' cakes, coffee soaks are great to compliment any chocolate cake, and as claire showed here, milk soaks are great for birthday cakes.

      @@escapee8598 yeah! of course, there are many ways to mixed up a simple syrup.
      I was referring to the importance of temperature of the syrup and the cake itself . what i was trying to say, is that is important to know that you need to have different temperatures to make a delicius and (sorry for the word) moist cake. Xx

      the thing is, this video is very helpful, but claire does miss on a few important points - probably to not make videos too long and complicated for beginners. i think this series is mostly aimed to those who only start getting into cake-making.

      As a somewhat more experienced baker, I agree that even the master baker would not be able to extract a recipe out of this. Sure, it's a general guideline, but it was a great missed opportunity to not list ratios at least in the visual or description. How long does it take to say "2 cups of cream" rather than "cream"? I suspect that they know that most of their viewers are foodies looking for knowledge to talk about rather than to use in the kitchen. I recommend Anna Olson for ingredients plus directions and theory like you get here.

      Ok so I went a little creepy and tried to figure it out. She said equal parts by weight of chocolate and heavy cream. At 3:19 in the video it looks like she has a measuring cup that holds two cups and it’s half full so I’m guessing one cup heavy cream about 230g. So I’m going to say 230g chocolate. It looks like 3 tablespoons of butter and based off what she threw in I’m going to say 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt. I know you could of done that yourself but I thought I’d save some time. I hope that helps.

    As usual, Claire has provided invaluable information in a wonderfully enjoyable video.
    I watched the whole series last night and ordered tons of equipment that will arrive tomorrow.
    Today, in preparation for the birthday cake, I wanted to write down the recipe. Much to my dismay no actual amounts have been provided.
    If you see this Claire, the community would be even more indebted to you if a recipe would be provided.
    Thanks for all your work.

    Thank you for this. I made a carrot cake using my friend's recipe, your Vanilla Pineapple Compote (I had to use vanilla extract) and an Italian Meringue Buttercream icing. I really liked how the Compote acted like a jelly filling. It was an Easter hit.

      when u eventually do try a recipe of hers leave a lot of time because when shes making stuff u don’t really realize how long it takes. once i tried to make her monkey bread and it turned out great but it took me 5 hours and i thought it would be like maybe a 2 hour process at most.

      @@nyleo04 I know right??? As part of a pre-birthday present, my partner bought me all of the extra equipment I would need to make the coconut cake (I didn't have a blow torch before) and now i realize there are no recipes to follow. It's pretty frustrating actually. I've spent the last hour trying to reverse engineer it from the videos.

    Claire this is so well done! You’re brilliant at what you do! I’ve literally watched hundreds and hundreds of all different kinds of food demo vids and this video series is better than than the rest in every way, and by far. And I love how almost every time I would question why something was the way it was, some sort of explanation would immediately follow. So well thought out 👏🏼😍

      @galllowglass Před 5 lety +1

      I think that tres leches must taste better than birthday cake oversoaked because it is meant to be, but if you oversoak a cake that doesn't have the right texture maybe the result won't be as good
