    Excellent tutorial. That caramel filling looks like our "dulce de leche", here in Argentina we use "dulce de leche repostero", which is stiffer, has more consistency, doesn't spread out, even we use it to make the dam around the cake border, because helps to hold more liquid filling and prevent to come out, but of course we use piping bag to fill because it's like difficult to put it with spoon... you have to try it, although it's more sweet.

    Hi! Thank you for your videos. Quick question, how do you know the ratio for each pan, I’m starting this baking journey and have a lot to learn. Also, is there any beginner friendly that you would recommend? Thank you for the amazing videos!!

    Hi! You can weigh the batter by putting a pan on the scale, pressing zero and then adding however much batter you guess is half or a third (depending on whether you're using 2 or three pans). Switch back and forth between your pans, adding a little at a time until they all weigh the same. OR you can use a measuring cup and add a cup at a time to each pan, rotating between them, and that way they'll all have about the same at the end. What kind of beginner friendly things are you looking for? I have a free course on my cake school that teaches 10 simple frosting techniques (britishgirlbakes.teachable.com/p/free-course) and there's also a course called The Basics of Cake that teaches everything about how to mix, bake, assemble, frost, decorate, store, transport and serve cakes (britishgirlbakes.teachable.com/p/the-basics-of-cake)

    Cream cheese frosting is trickier to work with because it's not nearly as stiff as buttercream. Having cold cake layers helps because they'll chill the filling as you're assembling the cake and that will help prevent sliding of the cake layers. Definitely chill the assembled cake in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before frosting it so that it holds its shape. Good luck!

    Does simple syrup make the cakes taste sweeter ?? If so, shall we add less sugar to the batter ??

  • @BritishGirlBakes

    @BritishGirlBakes

    2 ай бұрын

    Greta questions! I don't notice a difference in the sweetness since it's such a small amount of liquid. I don't recommend changing the amount of sugar in the batter because the consistency can change even with small differences in quantities of the ingredients.

  • @BritishGirlBakes

    The longer you mix it, the lighter it gets and you can add a tiny bit of violet colour to whiten it. Adding too much vanilla will colour it and it also depends on the butter you use

    This is dulce de leche thinned out with milk. Nestle make it in a tin/can and other brands usually sell it in jars in the aisle where you find cake ingredients like chocolate chips, or with the jams and honey.

    With the thickness of the cake, do you have trouble getting it to bake fully through? In other words, the sides are overdone and the middle is soupy.

  • @BritishGirlBakes

    @BritishGirlBakes

    2 ай бұрын

    That can happen! To avoid it you can lower the baking temperature (I baked these at 325 degrees F) and use baking strips to slow down the baking of the outer parts of the cake so that they don't burn and dry out :)

    See Emily's reply above to @pattystein3143 Bake them at a lower temperature (she used 325oF) and use baking strips around the outside of the cake pans. She shows how to do that in some of her other videos. Generally high doming is because of too high an oven temperature, or sometimes too much raising agent, or both.
