I know that many of you who come to my website are multi-talented. Most of us who are creative do not limit ourselves to one subject, but instead find interest in anything that challenges us to learn a new thing. To that end, I would like to share a newly discovered baking secret.
Since I started my new website devoted to creating low carb recipes, I have been perusing the web for all kinds of information on working with oat flour, and various forms of sugar replacements. The results of all of this investment of time has been well worth it, if only for the little secret I am going to share with you.
I don’t know if you have trouble with cakes cracking, or rising more in the middle, but I have, especially with the alternate flours. The answer to this problem is “baking pan jackets.” The results of this discovery is the perfect layer you see in the photo below.
If you look closely you will see that I have surrounded my pan with strips of toweling. These strips slow down the baking process so that the cake batter bakes more evenly, thus producing a layer as seen above.
I have written a tutorial for making these “pan jackets’ so that you can share them with friends and family. I think they would make a delightful gift.
I have more information on my recipe website if you are interested.
At present I am working on a knitted version (dk), made with cotton yarn. I will upload it when I get it done. I know once you see these, you will be coming up with designs of your own. One thought- as knitting stretches, elastic might not be necessary. Hum?????????? 🙂
