Instant strawberry cake mix offering a delicate pink hue, natural fruit aroma, and velvety sponge crumb for bakeries and home desserts.
FAQ
The mix relies on standardized natural plant-derived extracts, primarily stabilized beetroot extract and natural anthocyanins buffered with food-grade acid regulators. This buffer prevents thermal degradation and enzymatic browning at 175°C-180°C, ensuring the cake retains a delicate, visually appealing pastel pink tone after baking.
For 500g of dry mix, incorporate three medium eggs, 100ml vegetable oil, and 120ml to 150ml milk or water. Using whole milk produces a richer, creamier mouthfeel. Whip eggs on high speed until frothy, introduce liquids, then add the cake mix in two additions, whisking on medium speed for two minutes to achieve a silky batter.
Thanks to double-acting leavening acids, the mixed batter can be held covered in a commercial chiller at 4°C to 6°C for up to 2 hours without substantial aeration loss. Nevertheless, for optimal vertical lift and maximum crumb spring, best culinary practice dictates depositing the batter into preheated ovens within 30 minutes of mixing.
