Baking Exploration ::: Mini Japanese Cotton Cheesecake

My very very 1st cake baked from our kitchen that has passed.

Attended this recipe baking class at Sugar Inc @ Singapore, to get tips and learn some important notes about cake. Hearing from my friend that it is one of the best place to go to learn baking. Why? Because the clean up, wash up, serve you tea and give you a sample to eat while you're waiting to for your cake to pop out of the oven and cool off before you can pack up and go home.

If you're in Singapore and you would like to learn baking. This would be the place.

List of Tips from this bake
i) Must use cake flour.
Reason: Click here to read "What is cake flour, what makes it different than self-rising or all purpose?"
ii) It's Important to use Fresh Eggs, best 2-3days after you buy from store.
iii) Reason why the Egg measurement is used is due to the variation of size of eggs available in the market.
iv) Medium Peak is when you lift up the tip of the meringue should be able to stand up stiffly with a slight hook at the tip.
iv) If the baking pan has a removable base, wrap the outside surrounding and above the rim with Aluminium Foil as shown in picture.

v) For Mini Muffin size, fill it 3/4 as you can see below is the results of filling it up 1/2 only.

vi) Do not use oven fan mode when baking cakes or muffins, to avoid the cake from being blowed unevenly.
vii) Place the tray at the second lowest of the oven to prevent the bottom from being damp.

Wish you all success in baking! ^_^
