Where do you get recipes for cakes like bakeries make?

Believe it or not, many bakeries use cake mixes... but it's a matter of how they use the mixes: Here are some ideas... can't say I know what the bakeries do.





Here are some ways to jazz-up your cake mix cake.





-For a fluffier cake, add 1 tablespoon of meringue powder.


-Instead of water called for on the box use other liquids for added flavor. Some examples:


-Use milk instead of the water called for on the cake mix box. It makes a denser cake and it adds nutritional value.


-Use lemon-lime soda to enhance the citrus flavor in a lemon cake.


-Orange juice always works well in an orange cake.


-Chocolate milk or flavored soda works great with a chocolate cake mix.


-Exchange some of the liquid with chocolate syrup.


-Instead of vegetable oil use melted and cooled real butter for a richer cake.


-Enhance the cake flavor with extracts. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla or other coordinating flavored extracts to the cake mix won't make your cake batter overly wet. If more extract is desired, exchange it for some of the other liquid used in the mix.


-If changing from a scratch poundcake recipe to one using a cake mix, be sure to add 1- 3/4 ounce package of instant pudding (in a coordinating flavor). Up the eggs necessary to 4. Also be sure to include a total of 1 cup of liquid and 1/2 cup of oil or melted butter.


-If adding cut fruit, chocolate chips or nuts to a cake be sure to adjust cooking times accordingly.


-Use homeade frosting instead of store-bought.Where do you get recipes for cakes like bakeries make?
There are books and web sites


But the best way MIGHT be


to visit and volunteer as an INTERN.Where do you get recipes for cakes like bakeries make?
It depends on what type of bakery you are visiting. Some use cake mixes, which is just the dry ingredients and some hydrogenated shortening to give the mix an extra moist result. You can use the Internet or cookbooks to get similar recipes that the bakeries might use. A lot of bakeries use chiffon cake recipes because chiffon cakes are made with veg. oil instead of butter, this makes the cake a little more moist and is cost efficient since butter is a little pricey! good luck.
Since there are over 100000 different cakes which one are you looking for? For a general bakery recipe here is one:








French Vanilla


8 small eggs


12 oz of sugar


4 oz of vegetable oil


1 tablespoon of baking powder*


12 oz of flour


1 tablespoon of vanilla


1/4 cup of of brandy or other liquor





In a large bowl beat the liquid ingredients eggs, oil, vanilla and liquor.


Add the flour, tablespoon full into the bowl and mix at medium speed until all of the flour is mixed with the liquid ingredients.


Beat for another 10 minutes and add the baking powder*. Mix it for anothr 10 minutes until its a smooth mixture. Pour the mixture into a greased cake pan, and bake for approx for 60 minutes until golden brown at 350 degrees.
