All about Butter Cakes

Attended my first Cake Foundation class with Judy today and we covered butter cakes. She explained to us the different method of making a butter cake batter as well as the correct way it should be done. This is a walnut cake, I am impressed as I would expect a typical walnut butter cake to be dense and heavy, but this texture is soft and light, just like a sponge cake. Yummy! I am definitely making this again.This is a basic butter cake but we made it into a marble cake by adding some cocoa powder to a portion of the batter. This is baked in a pyramid-shaped silicon mold.This is a chocolate cake, which we made into cupcake size and to be decorated later into a sunflower.

These 2 are done by Judy, demostrating to us how to pipe and decorate to look like a sunflower.My piping skills definitely needs more polishing. See my sunflowers? Definitely can be better.

We will be covering chiffon cake next week and I am looking forward to it as I have never been good with my chiffon cakes.
