Q

how could baking help in making the shortened cake

Q

the function of flour in shortened cake

A

Contributes structure
Drier and toughener
Absorb water and increase batter viscosity
Starch and protein network traps air and gases
During baking starch gelatinizes around the air cells = firmness
Gluten proteins = cell wall structure

Q

sugar and the volume of shortened cakes

A

Air trapped during creaming
Increases starch gelatinization temperature and egg coagulation –more time to increase volume before batter sets
Reduction of cohesive forces (resistance to moving of cake batter during baking)

25
what would happen if too much sugar is added into shortened cake?
collapse, coarse texture, thick cell walls, gummy, rough crust
26
Hygroscopy
Hygroscopy aids in moisture retention prolonging freshness and shelf-life
27
how would eggs contribute to the shortened cake?
moisture, structure, leavening, emusifying, color, flavour, nutritive value
28
how could fat help with the shortened cake?
tenderizer, emusifying
29
how would fat help tenderize the
Coats protein and starch disrupting gluten formation Cell walls more pliable allowing for gas expansion Too much – air cells will explode decreasing cake volume Air bubbles temporarily stabilized by egg proteins Fat crystals adsorb onto air bubble surface creating a film around the protein stabilized air cell
30
how would fat help emulsifying
Emulsified shortening Hold large amounts of water Curdling (fat in water emulsion) due to cold, too much liquid, too fast etc
31
how does emusifiers work in shortened cakes?
u Decrease surface tension of oil-water interface for stable batter emulsion u Control fat to allow smaller and uniform air bubble size u Fine and uniform distribution of fat in batter u Promote air incorporation in batter u Affect starch gelatinization u Decrease cohesive forces
32
how would leavening agents work in shortened agents?
Leavening agents Steam, air, CO2 from chemical leavening agents Air cells are focal cells for steam and CO2 Too little – dense Too much – collapse, undesirable flavour, coarse texture, gummy crumb
33
how would chocolate in the shortened cake
Drier, contains starch Flour should be reduced if not then dry cake and cracked top Alkaline produces a red colour
34
what are the flavourings in shortened cakes?
u Natural and artificial u Salt u Extracts (alcohol based) u Vanilla and almond are common u Emulsions produce stronger flavours u Alcoholic beverages (rum, brandy, liquor)
35
why we need mixing when making shortened cakes?
u Distribute salt and leavening agent u Distribute fat evenly through batter u Aerate batter u Moisten all ingredients and dissolve sugar without releasing too much CO2 or overmanipulating batter
36
method for mixing
1. Conventional or Creaming u Sugar gradually added to plastic fat until light and fluffy u More creaming, more air incorporation u Beat in eggs to create a water-in-oil emulsion u Dry ingredients sifted together and added alternately with milk 2.Conventional Sponge Method u Low fat or using oil which will not cream sufficiently u Beat egg with sugar and folded into batter
37
how to make a muffin mix?
Eggs, milk, melted fat are added to sifted dry ingredients Cake can be eaten warm Used with lower fat mixtures
38
what is the order of heating during baking?
Batter on bottom and sides heat first and then top heats last
39
during baking, the top of the cake heats up first, true or false?
false
40
how is the crumb of the cake formed?
Air cells are elastic and do not readily rupture letting gases escape to give fine crumb
41
why would cakes collapse?
Cake will collapse if oven door is opened and temperature drops as batter is not set
42
why the structure of the cake would be firm?
Starch gelatinization and egg proteins denature – Structure is ‘set’
43
where is the brown color of the cake?
Browning occurs from both caramelization and Maillard browning
44
when is the cell walls of the cake most fragile?
Cell walls are most fragile out of the oven
45
what should the interior tmeperature of the cake be？
Interior should be 140°F or 60°C before removing from pan, about 10 minutes
46
what are foam cakes?
Egg foam based u Beating egg whites and adding sugar after flour u Leavening is primarily from air u Little to no fat, sugar is tenderizer (basic ingredients are egg whites, flour and sugar) u Springier and tougher than shortened cakes u Can be shortened (chiffon) or unshortened (angel food and yellow sponge)
47
list few examples for unshortened foam cakes
angel food and yellow sponge
48
list few examples of shortened foam cakes
chiffon, sponge cake
49
cookies = small cakes
High sugar level, less liquid than cakes; no starch gelatinization, structure collapses, but Coarser texture and crumb compared with cake
50
in what way can we describe the cookies?
crispness, softness, chewiness, spread
51
Characteristics of cookies
Crispness: Rich in fat or sugar or both Softness Contain invert sugar or high fructose like honey, corn syrup, brown sugar, removed from oven when brown but still moist Spread: too much or too little
52
what would make the cookie spread too much?
cookie would be thin and brittle薄脆; high fat, more liquid, less protein, higher altitude
53
what would make the cookies spread too little?
humped and dry; high protein flour and low liquid, high leavening
54
how is sugar is used for making cookies?
Sugar creamed with butter or shortening (leavening)
55
Fine sugar dissolves rapidly or slowly?
RAPIDLY
56
how would coarser sugar help with cookies?
Coarser sugar gives more tender cookies with greater spread
57
why could white sugar make the cookie more crisp?>
crystallization
58
how could the cookie stay soft?
Cookies are soft when sugars stay dissolved or supersaturated
59
Surface cracking occurs with glucose or fructose true or false?
flase, Surface cracking occurs with sugar (sucrose) but not with glucose or fructose
60
what is the fat in cookies?
butter or shortening,10-30% fat in formula
61
how would fat in cookiees help?
Creaming with sugar helps leavening Shorten gluten strands
62
what is the ratio for different fat in cookies?
2:1 (unsaturated fat to saturated fat) à tender, chewy cookie center
63
how would shourenting help?
Shortening helps with consistent dough and shelf-life and texture, commercially used
64
how to make cookies healthier?
Substitute fat with fruit purees, pureed white bean
65
function of eggs in cookies
Structure Liquid Too high – dry or cake-like
66
function of liquid in cookies
Mostly egg Very little Milk/dairy can be added which helps with color, texture, taste, shelf-life
67
function of leavening agents in cookies
Affect cookie grain and texture Leaner doughs require more to avoid dense grain and brittle texture Delayed release of soda results in cracking or checking
68
what causes the spread of the cookie?
1. Fat in dough melts, sugar dissolves, batter fluidity causes spread 2. leavening increases spread in all directions
69
when would the spread of cookies stop?
spread stops when dough becomes too viscous
70
why cookie would crack?
Cracking is due to moisture loss and sugar crystallizes on surface
71
why we want slightly undercooking when baking cookies?
Slightly undercooking allows carryover cooking to avoid overbaking(考虑余温)， Cooling cookies on racks before storing retains shape and texture
72
commercial cooking of cookies
u Tunnel ovens with conveyor belt stainless steel bands u Deposited dough cookies - layer cake batter, ex. ladyfingers, macaroons u Wire cut cookies - extruded and cut, rise and spread, ex. chocolate chip cookies u Rotary cut - stamped, ex. gingerbread man or animal crackers u Rotary mold – embossed molds, ex.Oreo cookies u Commercial bar cookies – extruded through die slits and cut with guillotine, filled, ex. Fig Newton
73
moisture of crackers
15-25% moisture in dough, final baked product no more than 5%
74
examples of fremented dough for crackers
Soda/saltine cracker
75
examples of chemically leavened dough for crackers
Savoury and butter crackers
76
examples for sweet chemically leavened dough
Graham crackers
77
u Shortening – flakiness, dough lubrication, mouthfeel u Oils – sprayed at end of baking for flavour, mouthfeel, and for particle adherence u Dough rolled into strong thin sheets and laminated and then docked u Baked at high temperature for short time
起酥油-片状，面团润滑，口感油-在烘烤结束时喷油，以改善风味，口感和颗粒粘附性。将其充分卷成坚固的薄片并层压，然后在高温下短时间烘烤
