Hey to begin with I would like to share a few tips with you, which will save your time while you bake a cake:
1. Arrange all the measuring cups, measuring spoons and the baking utensils ready before you start baking.
2. Sieve flour, baking powder, baking soda before you start whipping butter, eggs and sugar.
3. Arrange all the ingredients you require for baking in front of your eyes.
4. Place all the ingredients in separate containers, in their order of addition.
5. Pre-Grease your baking tray so that you avoid mess while pouring the batter in the tray.
6. For fruit cakes, finish up with chopping nuts and berries before you begin to organize other ingredients.
7. Keep a towel for wiping your hands.
8. Keep all the ingredients in room temperature for a uniform blend, especially butter and eggs
9. Use separate measuring utensils for liquid and solid ingredients.
10. Use the same measuring utensils for all your measurements for cake preparations
In a nutshell these tips will give you effective time while baking, which is real baking time minus the sctual time taken while baking.
