1 PROPER MEASUREMENT

Baking is cooking food in an oven, in hot ashes, or in any oven-type

appliances. Cake is one of the most commonly baked products. Cakes are usually
eaten during special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and
other celebrations. In order to bake the best cake it is important to measure the
ingredients accurately to get standard products and efficient use of materials.

What’s In

When you love sweets and cakes, you probably love baking too. You want to do cake
baking, but where do you start? What are the ingredients you need?

Introductory Activity:

notebook for your answer)

 Notes to the Teacher
The following are information that would lead to the activities
and assessment. Some activities may need your own
discretion upon checking or you may use a rubric if provided.
Please review the activities and answer keys and amend if
necessary.

What’s New

Cake is one of the most commonly baked products and these are usually
eaten during special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and
other celebrations. They are sweet, made from a combination of liquid batters, and
with high fat and sugar contents. They are often decorated after baking and can be
of different shapes and sizes, decorated with a variety of toppings like fruit, candy,
and frosting. Tortes, on the other hand, are type of cake that use higher quality
ingredients, which generally makes them more expensive. Their name is derived from
the German word “torte”, which means cake.

What is It

There are two main ingredients in preparing cakes, dry and liquid ingredients:

DRY INGREDIENTS

1. Flour
Sift the flour to remove lumps and scoop it to fill the measuring cup until it
overflows. Do not shake the measuring cup but level the flour with a spatula or
the edge of a knife.

3
2. Baking Powder/Baking Soda
Remove the lumps by stirring. Dip the measuring spoon into the powder or
scoop the baking powder or baking soda, then level it off with a spatula.

3. Powdered Milk
Remove the lumps by stirring. Scoop lightly to fill the measuring cup without
shaking until it overflows. Use the spatula or the straight edge of a knife to level
the measurement.

4. White Sugar
Sifting is not necessary unless it is lumpy. Fill the measuring cup or scoop the
sugar until it overflows. Do not shake the measuring cup but level the sugar with
a spatula or the edge of a knife.

5. Brown Sugar
Roll out the lumps, remove the dirt and pack into the measuring cup until the
sugar follows the shape of the cup when inverted. When removed from the
measuring cup, the brown sugar will be molded into the shape of the cup if
packed properly.

4
LIQUID INGREDIENTS

A liquid measuring cup is used to measure large quantities of liquids. Set the cup
on a level surface. Never lift the cup while pouring the liquid. Read the scale from
the side of the cup.
