CAKE TYPES...Question to be answered

CAKE TYPES: Hi there!! =) I have a story to share with you... During my holiday last week, I fill my free time to learn baking a cake. My mom was guiding me. I've making Chocolate Sponge Cake and Chocolate Pound Cake. From this experience, I realize that method I'm used to make the both cake is totally different. For Chocolate Pound Cake, I need to mix shortening(fat), margarine or butter with sugar first until it very creamy then i adding others ingredients. But... to make Chocolate Sponge Cake, no shortening (fat) are used. It just uses air that is beaten into either the whole eggs or eggs whites to leaves them.
Then,I search for the types of cake in internet. Here, want Ii just found about cake types.

Cake fall into two groups, foam cake and shortened cake (butter cake).
  1. Form Cake - This cake have largest proportion of egg than butter cake. It does not contain fat and also called as unshortened cake. To make them be light and soft, they need the air beaten into them along with eggs whites for the soft, rich and light texture. Examples of foam cakes are Angel Food Cakes and Chiffon Cakes.
  2. Shortened Cake (butter cake) - Also called creamer cake, contain fat, margarine, or vegetables shortening. Frequently, fat we used are in solid form and high ratio of eggs to flour. The uses of fat will add finely textured, and moist cake. Examples of butter cake are pound cake, fruitcake, cheese cake and brownies.

So, after this explanatio
n about cake types, if you understand it, can you give me what type of cake for my Chocolate Pound Cake and Chocolate Sponge Cake that I've been make during my holiday?

Types of Chocolate




What's up guys!! Hope everybody fine and enjoy your happy life...Have you take your chocolate today? If your answer is yes, do you know the types of the chocolate you ate? Never mind, we will discuss it on this post.
Basically, chocolate is available in many types and is a popular ingredient. The main types of chocolate are white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, and unsweetened chocolate.
This different form and flavors of chocolate may be produced with ordinary cacao beans (mass produced and cheap), or specialty cacao beans (aromatics and expensive), or a combination of this two types.
As I just tell you earlier, all the types of chocolate have their own ingredient and it uses. So, lets we talk about each types of chocolate.
  1. White Chocolate- Low contents of cacao solid or without cacao solid. Some countries do not called white chocolate as 'chocolate' because of low contents of cacao solid. Made with cacao butter or vegetable oils, sugar, milk, emulsifier, vanilla or sometime other flavoring. Mostly used to make chocolate mousse and Panna Cotta and other desserts.
  2. Dark Chocolate- High content of cacao solid, produce by adding sugar to cacao, no or very little milk as an additive. This chocolate can either be sweet, semi sweet, bittersweet, or unsweetened. Sometime it also called as "Plain Chocolate".
  3. Milk Chocolate- It refers with milk powder or condensed milk added. It contains 10-20% cacao solid (includes cacao and cacao butter) and and more than 12% milk solid. It is rarely use for baking except for cookies.
  4. Semisweet Chocolate- Frequently used for cooking purpose (cake, cookies, and brownies). This type of chocolate is easy to find in many grocery stores. It has a sweet flavor with a low (typically half) sugar content.
  5. Bittersweet Chocolate- Is chocolate with more cacao butter, vanilla and a bit lecithin was added. It often used in baking or cooking. In this chocolate, the rule is the higher the content of cacao solid, the content of sugar is low and the less sweet chocolate will be.
  6. Unsweetened Chocolate- Also known as a bitter chocolate that mostly used for baking. It is also can be used as a base for cakes, brownies, and cookies with addition of sugar. It is not suitable taken to eat as a snack because of it flavor is not good.

Even when you watching television you can eat chocolate or cake. There are people use chocolate or cake as their snack during they enjoy their tea time. For me, i just like to eat chocolate or cake when i watching television or surfing internet. I also eat them if i need to do so when i feel stress. hehehe...

Here, I've some health fact about chocolate. It is miracle of chocolate also. Because while you eat chocolate regularly for pleasure, it provide you a beneficial health effect. Cocoa or dark chocolate can give benefits to the circulatory system. Other then benefit include anticancer, brain stimulator (can release your stress), cough preventor, antidiarrhoeal effect. Newly, but still not yet proven, chocolate can give an aphrodisiac effect.

An additional, most thing have their own advantage and disadvantage. So do chocolate. If you taking or eating chocolate often in large quantities, it will increase risk of obesity. This is because of chocolate is one of energy rich food consist the high amount of calories caused by factory added substance such as fat and sugar. This added substance with high amount are suggested to make chocolate so addictive.
