What it concludes
- Parchment paper rounds always release nicely and are a good insurance policy for cake pans.
- Using applesauce and sour cream helps you use less oil while keeping the cake delicious and moist without being oily.
- Tossing chopped pecans with dry flour mixture helps the nuts stay distributed and not sink to the bottom.
- Using cake strips helps you bake up nice, flat layers rather than a domed cake.
- Cream cheese frosting should be on the cooler side of room temperature because it has a tendency to fall apart when warm.
- The more sugar you add to buttercream, the stiffer it will be.
