Baking Tips● Your scale is your friend: weigh your dry ingredients

● Ingredients at Room Temperature: eggs, milk, etc. (unless it states “softened butter” instead of room temp.)

● How to soften butter faster: increase its surface area by cutting it up. Instead of 30-40 min. at room temp., you can get it soft in 20.

● Always toast nuts before using

● Preheat oven 25 degrees hotter than the recipe states and turn it down after putting the cake/cupcakes in the oven

● Use King Arthur Flour unless stated

● Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding to batter to prevent sinking

● Rotate pans once through baking process

● If it is a chocolate recipe, use coffee instead of water
