My Pro Tip for sifting dry ingredients… It is so important to sift your dry ingredients before you add wet ingredients. Let me explain why. First, sifting removes any clumps from that might be in your flour, baking powder, soda, or salt, ensuring that your cake batters will be smooth. Second, sifting combines dry ingredients thoroughy so that you’ll get a level rise on your cake. And I’ve got a tip about sifting equipment too. You can use a sifter, but I always use a whisk instead. I find my whisk easier and faster for combining dry ingredients. I have only one exception to this tip: cocoa powder. If your recipe calls for cocoa powder, set aside the whisk and get out your sifter. mspexcite lowertownneighbor visitsaintpaul aliciabakeseverything #thebutteredtin #aliciahinzeprotips #butterygoodness #pastrychefsecrets #bakelikeapro
