this is an amazing tutorial, as a beginner than never liked baking I am encouraged to go try it.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and so glad you enjoyed the tutorial 🙂
Hello
Thanks for the tutorial.
If one cannot have self rising flour and needs to use plain flour , what quantity of baking powder will you need?
Thanks
To get the ratio right to making your homemade version of self rising flour, add two teaspoons of baking powder for each 150g of plain flour. As 115g is used in this recipe add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder to plain flour to get self rising.
How long do you beat the eggs and flour during intervals, and how long for the buttercream between intervals please.
Just keep mixing the eggs and flour until the mixture has blended together. The same with the buttercream, as soon as the mix has fully blended then more can be added.
For the buttercream is it a 2 to 1 ratio icing sugar to butter. The recipe says 115 gms butter to 300 gms icing sugar. I couldnt tell what Paul said in the video (might have something to do with his Scottish accent lol)
Sorry about that. It is 2:1, icing sugar to butter. Maybe we need an interpreter or even captions.
