Formulas

The following cake formulas will give you practice with all major cake-mixing methods. Many popular North American cake types are included, sometimes in the form of variations on the basic cake types. These variations show that by making small changes in flavoring ingredients, you can make many different cakes from the same basic recipe. Adding new flavorings sometimes requires other ingredient changes. For example, in the case of the Strawberry Cake, the flavoring ingredient is high in sugar, so the amount of sugar in the formula is reduced.
