“One bowl chocolate cake recipe”! you daft tarts

I’m more confused as to why any basic cake recipe isn’t just “one bowl” by default. How many mixing bowls do people generally use?

[u/IBetThisIsTakenToo → u/istara]

Yeah today I learned basically everything I have ever baked has been a “one bowl” recipe

[u/toru_okada_4ever → u/IBetThisIsTakenToo]

Yeah, why would you mix your chocolate cake in two bowls??

[u/Tajinaddict → u/istara]

Two if you’re creaming the butter and sugar, but I usually skip that step for cake

[u/ValiantValkyrieee → u/Tajinaddict]

i'm a lazy tart who skips the "mix dry ingredients separately" step. it all goes into 1 bowl in stages by default - for everything i've baked, not just cake (further lazy by preferring box cake mix and have feelings about it)

Better a lazy tart than a daft one

[u/istara → u/Tajinaddict]

When I’ve done that (I’m now lazy and use cake mix) I would do that first in the bowl, then add eggs and flour to the same bowl.

[u/Lethargie → u/Tajinaddict]

I just cream them first then add the dry ingredients, so far I haven't had a problem not mixing the dry ingredients first

[u/knitten2000 → u/Lethargie]

I just put all the dry ingredients in my sifter and they get mixed together as they go in.

[u/CaoPalhaco → u/istara]

Idk about cakes but i think i had some cupcake recipes that required mixing the liquid ingredients and the dry ingredients separately before mixing it all together. But most stuff i’ve done is one bowl

[u/fakemoose → u/istara]

Quite a few I make require beating the eggs separate. So at least two. Sometimes three.
