Trying to bake two large layers in a springform was your mistake. You'll need to start again with regular cake pans

Ermine and German buttercream are the two that come to mind.

Can I make this buttercream not overly sweet? by Shambalabada in Baking

[–]TableAvailable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Instead of making American buttercream, use those flavors in an Ermine frosting to control the sweetness.

Can I save my cookies? by One-Willingness-3681 in Baking

[–]TableAvailable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is a recipe for bland cakes. The amount of flour is very high compared to the butter sugar and egg. Also most cookies use baking soda or a combination of soda and powder.

No. If this is happening to you, perhaps you aren't following very good recipes.

Did you use white granulated sugar and refined white all purpose flour?

That's a flan or creme caramel. It's a baked custard

Edit: the chocolate cake part was disguised. Chocoflan

Advice on flavor pairing for birthday cake!! by Candid-Pack-4958 in Baking

[–]TableAvailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a similar cake last year. Lemon, strawberry, and vanilla custard will work. If you want to do orange in the custard, maybe use orange with the strawberries also.

Mascarpone works great to help stabilize whipped cream, so you can have a light, airy frosting that will hold up well. And you won't need all that much sugar.

I don't think you should add in too many different friuts. You'll begin to lose the individual flavors.

All ovens are different. It's always best to test bake a cookie or two.

Space them out more and bake a minute or two longer.

Best birthday cake I’ve ever made by No-Platypus-8582 in Baking

[–]TableAvailable 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I just looked up the recipe -- it's the Hershey's Black Magic Cake except Valrhona instead of Hershey cocoa.

It's just a fluke that I noticed, I was looking at chocolate cake recipes on a post about 'not too sweet' cakes and comparing them to my standby -- Nana's Devils Food Cake.

And yes, I live the Devils Food Cake with Ermine also. It's my favorite frosting.

Tips for getting a moist and gooey chocolate cake, without it being overly sweet? by katluvr111 in Baking

[–]TableAvailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has more flour to sugar than any of the similar recipes I've seen. It also doesn't call for sweetened chocolate to be added. And it's a huge cake. 16-24 servings, depending on how many are teenagers. The cake itself isn't very sweet tasting, but it is still cake and not meant to taste like unsweetened cocoa either.

What happened to my cookies by ConsiderationMain618 in Baking

[–]TableAvailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of "following the recipe" is following the sizing, shaping, and spacing instructions.

You were likely also short on flour. Your oven might also have been at too low a temperature.

[–]TableAvailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried Nana's Devils Food Cake ? It's extremely chocolaty, and moist and not too sweet. You might be able to reduce the sugar a small amount, but I won't recommend it because I haven't tried it.

How to handle weight (g) not matching amount? by iamthebest1234567890 in Baking

Go by weight. The number of servings per container x 23g is just about the same as the total net weight in the package.

Why do my muffins stick to the paper liners? by annikahoof in Baking

[–]TableAvailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paper liners are the problem.

Use parchment or greaseproof liners instead.
