INGREDIENTS USED IN ONE BOWL BISCOFF CAKE
Sugar
The most obvious reason is that sugar adds sweetness to the cake, making it enjoyable and satisfying to eat. In a microwave cake, sugar helps keep the cake moist, preventing it from becoming dry and crumbly during the cooking process.
Oil
Oil adds tenderness to the cake’s crumb. It coats the flour particles and interferes with gluten formation, resulting in a more delicate and less chewy texture. It is often easier to mix into cake batters compared to solid fats like butter. Oil can be blended more uniformly with other ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of fats throughout the batter.
Vinegar
The acid in vinegar helps to tenderize gluten, the protein responsible for the structure and elasticity in baked goods. This results in a cake that is softer and more tender. he reaction between vinegar and milk creates a thicker and creamier consistency, contributing to a smoother texture in the cake batter. This can result in a more uniform and appealing final product. White distilled vinegar is commonly used due to its neutral flavour, but you can also use apple cider vinegar or other mild vinegars.
Milk
Milk helps dilute the batter to achieve the desired consistency. This makes the batter easier to work with and results in a smoother texture. In recipes that use baking powder as a leavening agent, milk can react with it to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas creates air bubbles within the batter, causing the cake to rise and become fluffy.
All Purpose Flour
Flour helps absorb the moisture from other ingredients in the batter, which contributes to the cake’s texture and prevents it from being overly wet. It interacts with leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda to create gas (usually carbon dioxide) that causes the cake to rise. Flour is a primary structural ingredient in cakes. It provides the framework for the cake’s crumb and gives it a cohesive texture. It also produces a tender crumb in the cake.
Biscoff Spread
Biscoff spread has a distinct and rich flavour, characterized by the sweet and spiced taste of Speculoos cookies. Incorporating it into the cake batter infuses the entire dessert with a warm and indulgent taste. The spices and caramelized cookie flavour in Biscoff spread contribute to a delightful aroma as the cake bakes. It provides a more intricate flavour profile beyond a simple sweetness.
Leavening Agents
Baking powder and baking soda are used in this cake recipe as raising agents. Leavening agents introduce gas bubbles into the cake batter. When heated in the microwave, these bubbles expand, causing the cake to rise and become airy. The rise from leavening agents helps the cake cook more evenly in the microwave, ensuring that the centre and edges of the cake cook at a similar rate.
