Why you should always drop your cake on the floor (seriously)
To be honest, I’m no domestic goddess, and definitely no baking goddess, but I am always the one with the most useful tips. Because you know what they say about lazy people; they can be incredibly inventive when it comes to getting a job done in the easiest way possible. And in that category, today I’m going to tell you why you should always drop your cake on the floor.
Also great for those of us who are a little clumsy. This kitchen hack is perfect if, for example, you want to make a cake with multiple layers of sponge that need to be as flat as possible — or if you simply want to make a cake without a dome.
Sounds strange, but it really works
Here’s how the trick works: when you take the cake out of the oven, hold it about twenty centimetres above the floor straight away… And then drop it. Not upside down, but with the base facing down. This releases the excess air inside, making your cake flatter. Tadaaa. Easy as pie. Still confused? Just check out the TikTok below.
