Question 1

What is caster sugar?

Accepted Answer

Caster is a popular fine sugar found in the United Kingdom. Although it is not as popular in the United States, you can find it in specialty grocery stores under the name superfine sugar, baker's sugar, or ultrafine sugar. It is much finer than granulated sugar but not as fine as powdered or confectioners' sugar.

Question 2

How can I keep my berries from sinking to the bottom of my cake batter?

Accepted Answer

Anytime you use frozen fruit when baking, you run the risk of it all ending up at the bottom of the cake. The easiest way to prevent this common issue is to coat them in a flour mixture before adding them to your batter. Just two or three tablespoons to coat the berries should be enough. Then, gently fold it into the batter and the flour will absorb the moisture that the berries release as they heat up.

Question 3

What is cream of tartar?

Accepted Answer

With such a misleading name, the purpose of this kitchen staple (potassium bitartrate) is not what you may think. For instance, it is not creamy, and it has nothing to do with tartar sauce. It is a powdered by-product made from the fermentation of grapes into wine and is used for helping your egg whites become giant peaks of fluffy foam.
