Unleash the Flavor: Our Best Tea Cake Tips

Here are 10 tips to help you bake the perfect tea cakes:

1. Dry roast spices for added aroma and add them to the dry mix at the beginning of baking.

2. Bake the cake at a higher temperature (200°C) for the first 10 minutes to achieve a good cake crack/burst.

3. Soften butter at room temperature before adding it to ensure better incorporation.

4. Cream butter and sugar for at least 5 minutes to add air and create a fluffier cake.

5. Follow the recipe without adjusting ingredient quantities like sugar, baking soda, baking powder, or wet ingredients as each ingredient serves a purpose in the final cake.

6. Once dry ingredients combine with wet, avoid overmixing or undermixing; aim for homogeneous mixing.

7. Always preheat your oven before baking.

8. Demold the hot cake within 20 minutes and cling wrap it to keep it soft.

9. Fill your cake pan only halfway (up to 50%) for an even rise; do not overfill or underfill it.

10. Toss nuts or chocolate chips into dry ingredients first to lightly coat them and prevent sinking in the batter.
