Making cakes may be simple or a lengthy process, but the rules are always the same. The type depends on the fat you are using and the end result which you want.

Different Methods Of Making Cakes -

1. All-in-one: As the title explains, these cakes are made by mixing all the ingredients at once. The ingredients are beaten together and kept aside for a few hours to set.
   
   
2. Boil-and-bake: The fat and liquid are boiled together before the flour is added. Then mixing and whisking is carried just like the above technique. Another straightforward method.
   
   
3. Rubbing-in: In this method the making starts with butter which is added into the flour. It is in the same way as for the short crust pastry. Butter, block margarine and lard can also be used while making the mixture. It is a very easy method.
   
   
4. Creaming: A term used when a cake is made with butter or margarine. It means that the fat and sugar are beaten together until it becomes creamy. The mixture is beaten with wooden spoon and the eggs are then slowly added into this mixture. It is the most common and simple method.
   
   
5. Whisking: This is also another common method of baking cakes. Eggs and sugar are whisked in hot water for 10-15 minutes but if you are using an electric mixer then 5-10 minutes should be enough. All these cake mixtures are either pressure cooked or baked in the oven.
