Dry cakes often contain too little liquid, which is where the term "soft dropping consistency" comes in. Ideally, a spoonful of batter should drop easily into the bowl when given a gentle shake. To get there, recipes often call for a little milk to be folded in after the flour. If there's a lot of liquid to be added, sometimes the flour and liquid are folded in alternately, to prevent splitting. This type of foam doesn't retain moisture after squeezing like a cellulose or natural sponge does,” says Berry. “Bacteria tend to thrive in moist environments, so sponges made from hydrophilic engineered foam are not inherently antibacterial—they’re just less likely to promote bacterial growth compared to cellulose or natural sponges.” Decorating is a personal preference.

Since he is not a big fan of overly sweet desserts, cakes and frostings, I decided on baking this cake. The cake is going to deflate when you take it out of the oven. I am using an 8 inch / 20cm round pan for the cake. After baking, as it cools it will deflate and be approximately 2inches / 5cm in height.

Overbeating the egg whites will cause it to have a curdled appearance and is not usable.
