There are several methods to combine cake ingredients:
* Creaming method - butter and sugar are creamed together before the rest of the ingredients are gradually added.
* Melt-and-mix - dry ingredients are mixed together and then melted butter and other liquids are added to complete the cake.
* Rubbing method - butter is rubbed into the dry ingredients before the liquid is added.
* 'All-in-together' - the dry ingredients and shortening are placed in the food processer and liquid is gradually added.
* Sponge-making - eggs and sugar are whipped to a froth and flour is carefully mixed in. No raising agent or fat is used in this method and it takes great skill to make a light sponge
The Creaming Method is my favorite............
