Shortcuts... are they a better thing? I don't know. In baking i think everything should be done step by step, don't start throwing everything into the mixer... And Premix... i don't support them cause they always tend to be too sweet.
I learnt something new about spongecake today... After trying out a lot of strawberry shortcake. I support one store i found at takashimaya. around $6-8 a per piece (can't remember the price) the cake doesn't look that great but the texture... Excellent! It's the cotton-y soft type and it's not too sweet. Finally found the sponge i totally love.
Okay so after finding the texture... Now is to find the recipe... Have been trying alot of sponge recipes. and the lastest findings... adding vinegar into baking powder... I know it sounds weird but i found it on the net. HAHA. tried adding it into the sponge, i think just a few more adjustments it should be successful:DD
