Techniques from John Kirkwood
All techniquesDrizzle icing over a cake on a wire rack set over a clean tray, then reuse the runoff
Set the cake on a wire rack over a clean baking tray so excess icing can be collected and poured back over the cake.
Make lemon icing by adding juice to icing sugar a little at a time (and adjust thickness)
Add lemon juice gradually to icing sugar because small amounts of liquid thin it quickly; correct by adding more sugar or more juice.
Poke holes and spoon citrus juice onto a warm cake to infuse flavor and moisture
After a short rest, poke holes in the cake and spoon over citrus juice so it soaks through.
Test a cake for doneness with a cocktail/kebab stick and extend bake if needed
Insert a stick into the cake; if it comes out clean it’s done, if wet bake a little longer.
Tap a filled cake tin to release large air bubbles before baking
After pouring batter into the tin, give it a few gentle taps on the bench to lift big air bubbles.
Fold flour in gently to avoid knocking air out of an aerated batter
Use a spatula to gently fold in flour so you keep the air you whisked into the wet mixture.
Sift dry ingredients, then tap/push lumps through the sieve
Sift flour and baking powder, then tap the sieve and push stubborn lumps through with your fingers.
Whisk eggs until light and fluffy to build lift in cake batter
Beat eggs with a whisk/mixer until they become light and fluffy (about 90 seconds) to incorporate air.
