SORRY CAKE

This is a bar cake that my Mother -in-law makes for all occasions. It is simple and disappears just as quickly as it is to make it, I guess that's why she calls it a sorry cake because if you don't get there when she makes it you'll be sorry you missed it.

Tips:

  • For the Perfect Cake Batter: Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature, accurately measure your ingredients, and mix the batter gently to avoid over-mixing.
  • Achieving a Moist and Tender Cake: Incorporate buttermilk, sour cream, or yogurt into the batter for added moisture. Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar for a richer flavor and moist texture.
  • Preventing Dense Cakes: Avoid over-mixing the batter, as this can result in a dense texture. Additionally, do not over-bake the cake as it can become dry and crumbly.
  • Obtaining a Level Cake: Ensure your oven is preheated before baking and use an oven thermometer to monitor the temperature for accuracy. Level the cake batter in the pan by gently tapping it on the counter before placing it in the oven.
  • Avoiding a Soggy Cake: When making a poke cake, allow the hot liquid to cool slightly before pouring it over the cake. This will prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.
  • Creating a Smooth Frosting: Use softened butter and cream cheese at room temperature for smooth and creamy frosting. Sift your powdered sugar to avoid lumps and gradually add it to the butter or cream cheese mixture while beating.
  • Storing Cakes and Frosting: Properly store your cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
