Short Cuts From The 20 Minute Cook
Here's some tips to make cakes with the least number of steps
- Make the batter in a roomy heavy based saucepan. That's because we melt the butter and sugar together rather than use the creaming method
- Do all your mixing in this large pot. Don't waste time decanting, pouring and using lots of little bowls
- Only ever use non-stick bake ware
- If using removable baking tins, line with parchment or baking paper with a generous over hang. Grip the overhang to lift the baked yummies easily out of the mold
- Always have in your pantry the basic ingredients
- Always pre-heat the oven - so that the oven cavity is at an even temperature.

Tips For Easy Cake Recipes
Our easy cakes are so simple to prepare that you'll find these recipes have omitted every fussy procedure. There is:
- No sifting
- No weighing with scales
- No creaming required (That's creaming of eggs and sugar)
- No fussy ingredients - we only use what's commonly available from the supermarket
- Minimal washing up
No matter that these scrumptious and moist easy cake recipes really are super easy, you will still
require some basic equipment. It goes without saying, you will have an
oven and a stove.
To keep the hands-on preparation time to only 20 minutes, I recommend the following equipment:
- Non-stick baking trays. They come in all sizes, the most common are
round, bundt, square, loaf and muffin trays. This saves on the hassle of
lining and greasing tin baking trays. The beauty of flexible silicone
trays for cakes and muffins, is, that the cakes just pop out of the mold
with just a twist
- Measuring Cup - Select one that measures in "CUPS" as well as in
fluid ounces and liters. It is much easier to measure cups of flour or
sugar or coconut than ounces or grams of dry ingredients
- Measuring Spoons - Standard spoons are necessary
- A large mixing bowl or any large roomy bowl. I find a large sauce
pan is perfect as a substitute. You'll find this procedure so efficient as the batter is made in one pot then poured into
the mold
- A hand held blender - this comes in really handy for whipping cream
- A selection of good quality wooden spoons and flat spatulas
- A good quality heavy knife
