Cooking a delicious Easter is another challenge for the hostess. Most often, we can give up at the first difficulties.
Why isn't the dough rising?
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. Food that is too cold or hot will not rise. Also, pay attention to how much dough has stood in a draft-free area. And the most important thing is not to open the oven door during baking. Otherwise, the dough may "fall" right during the cooking process.
Why does the dough burn?
Most likely, you put the baking sheet in the oven before it reached the required temperature for baking. This can also happen when the baking sheet is too high or too low (in this case, the bottom will burn). It is important to cover the baking sheet with parchment. They should also cover the bottom of the baking dish.Why is the dough raw inside?
This is often due to the fact that you are not counting the time it takes to cook. For example, a small cake needs to be baked for 30 minutes, for a medium-sized cake - 45 minutes. And cake more than 1.5 kg - about an hour. When the dough reaches the edges of the mold, the cake is ready. You can also check the doneness with a toothpick. But do not do this several times in a row, otherwise the dough may simply not rise.
Why did the cake come out dry?
This can happen due to the fact that you did not knead the dough much. Or the flour was not sifted too carefully. Also, to soften the dough, you can add a little cognac or rum to it.
