How to Make Homemade Fondant with Marshmallows

We're gonna let that mix a minute .

Ok ?

Just as in the scratch cake .

If I didn't have a beater blade on there with the rubber edge , I would lower the bowl and I would make sure I scraped this down really well , then I'm going to set my timer for three more minutes and I'm going to put this at a low , a low to medium speed right around a number two on this mixer .

And that's going to be for three more minutes .

Ok .

We've come to the end of our three minutes .

We'll turn that off and just like I did with the round nine inch cakes , I'm gonna divide this batter into 28 inch pans and we're going to put this in the oven again .

I'm using the A pans .

So I'm going to bake these at 3 25 .

Just one last thing on the cake mixes .

This line of cake mixes that we have also includes a delicious carrot cake mix that actually has real carrots in it .

Unlike a lot of commercial cake mixes that are just more like a spice cake .

This is a nice firm and very moist and delicious carrot cake with carrots in it .

The new line of cake mixes that we'll have out very shortly is a different formulation .

And to that you will add eggs and water and oil and it's also going to be packaged in a little heavier packages so that you can get a nice full cake .

And it won't be just a £1 cake mix .

Like many of the commercial mixes .

We'll come right back , we'll be back at the oven and I'll show you how to test if the cake is done .

OK .

Our 30 minutes is up and actually when I looked in the oven , they still looked a little on the pale side .

So I set it for the additional five minutes .

This cake will take 30 to 35 minutes depending on your oven .

So we're ready to test the cakes you can reach in or you can just pull the cakes out a little bit .

The one thing you'll notice about a butter cake when it's done is it'll just gently start pulling away from the side of the pan .

I have a toothpick and when I insert that in the center , it comes out perfectly clean and I'll do that on both of them and also tests clean .

The old standard of touching a cake and see if it bounces back , sometimes applies .

But typically on a real tender butter cake , it will leave an indentation but the cake will be cooked .

So it's important that you do check with a toothpick .

Once these are baked , I'm going to take them out .

I'm going to put them on a wire rack and I'm gonna let these cool on the rack in the pan for 10 minutes .

Don't take them out of the pan for at least 10 minutes .

We'll come right back when this time is up and I'll show you how to remove them from .

Our cake is now cooled for 10 minutes and we're ready to invert it onto the wire rack .

You'll notice that it's just come away from the edge a little bit in a well balanced recipe in a butter cake that will flatten out and it will make a nice layer that will require very little or no trimming on the top to get a flat cake , take a sharp knife and go around the edge of the cake all the way around so that you cut away from the edge .

Now , the easiest way and probably the safest way to indicate is to put the rack over the top , use your pot holders to hold both of them at the same time and then just invert it .

And then you can lift the pan right off the top .

And you can see because we use the parchment paper for the bottom that it popped right out of the pan and then just slowly peel that back .

And you can see , even though I greased the parchment paper , you can see how some of the crust actually stuck to the parchment paper that shows you how much a butter cake can actually stick to a pan .

If I didn't have this on here , I'd have had a hard time removing it from the pan at this point .

Let this cool completely .

Don't wrap it in cellophane or put it in a plastic bag or refrigerate .

It don't do anything in this to this cake until it is thoroughly cooled .

Give it at least an hour outside on your , on your counter or a little bit more when it's completely cooled .

Then you can either ice it and go forward and decorate it or you can put it like in a Ziploc bag or you can wrap it with some sort of a cellophane wrap and leave it on the counter overnight or you can refrigerate it .

Whatever you choose to do , we could be right back to finish this video and we'll take the cake , mix cake out of the oven and show you what that looks like .
