ACTIVITY 3: Cakes: Unshortened (Foam Cakes) & Shortened (Butter Cakes)

There are two types of raised cakes: (1) Foam (unshortened) cakes and (2) Butter (shortened) cakes

Foam cakes/Unshortened cakes: Foam cakes have a high proportion of eggs to flour. They are leavened solely by the air beaten into whole eggs or egg whites. They contain very little, if any, fat and have a spongy texture. This is a category of cakes that are made with lots of stiffly beaten egg whites, which makes them light and airy. An optimum foam cake is fine, even textured. It is leavened by steam. The three categories of foam cakes are: Those that contain no fat Angel food cakes Meringues Dacuoises Those where the only fat is from egg yolks Sponge cakes Some biscuits Those that contain fat (butter, shortening) plus egg yolks. Genoises Chiffons

FOAM/UNSHORTENED CAKES I. OBJECTIVE At the end of the session, the students must be able to: a. Identify the different ingredients of a foam cake, b. Prepare and manipulate the different kinds of foam cake; c. Appreciate patience, and perseverance in making foam cake.

IV. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION

Butter or shortened cakes

Butter or shortened cakes contain fat (butter, margarine, shortening) and rely on a chemical leavening agent (baking powder, baking soda) for their rise. They are flavorful, and have a good texture and volume. The American style butter cake evolved from the English pound cake recipe of 1 pound of flour, 1 pound of sugar, 1pound of butter, and 1 pound of eggs. Other examples of butter cakes are the white and yellow cake, coffee cakes, teacakes, and fruitcakes. Some butter cakes are rich and flavorful enough to stand alone (fruitcakes, teacakes) or with a sifting of confectioners sugar or drizzled with a glaze. Others, layer or sheet butter cakes, taste even better with a layer of frosting, lemon curd, jam and preserves, nuts, or even ice cream. BUTTER/SHORTENED CAKES I. OBJECTIVES: 1. Identify the different types of shortened cakes and its method of mixing the creaming method or conventional method. 2. Demonstrate the method of mixing shortened cake, the conventional method. 3. Appreciate the value of performing the hard way with patience and perseverance.
