Cake making simplified!

Every baker has got its own good and bad experiences making cake. A soft, even, golden colour, yummy cake are the good days! Its such a dissapointment when your cakes are unrisen, lack height, cracked in the center, sunk in the center, hard and dense, unbaked or over baked after all the preparation, weighing, sifting, creaming fat and sugar and so on. 

You might want to maintain originality in your cakes but you still can with pre-mixed butter cake flour. Boxed cake mixes sound promising with their convenience to make and sure results. 

The Maurimix Butter Cake Mix allows the baker to concentrate more on presentation, gives good results in terms of height, taste and texture. You only have to handle three ingredients. Which is butter or margarine, eggs and the pre-mixed butter cake mix flour. How easy does that sound?

It get’s even better since there is no creaming of fat and sugar till pale white. All you need to do is beat the butter/margarine for two minutes at medium speed! There is no sifting of flour with baking powder required either.

Next you combine the Maurimix butter cake mix flour followed by the eggs with some beating in between.

Considering the beating time the total time to prepare the cake batter is about 7 to 8 minutes only. How easy is that?

You could also add some fresh milk and more vanilla suppose you like to create your own kind of flavour profile to your butter cakes.

In a nut shell
1. You only handle 3 ingredients in your cake making. 
2. No creaming of fat and sugar.
3. No sifting flour with baking powder.
4. Less washing to do. 
5. The recipe gives a little more than 1Kg cake. 
6. Ensures good cake height, taste, texture and softness. 
7. More time and focus on the decorating and finishing of the cake. 

Cake making is now just a breeze! You could try the convenience of cake making with the Maurimix 500g Butter Cake Mix now available at SPAR supermarkets.
