Bye!
Great these gl recipes.
However, it would be easier if you specified grams in decibels and tsp/tbsp measures in smaller weights.
Hi Anita!
Thank you for your important feedback!
Yes, if you want to accurately measure all the substances, you have to do it in grams. Desit and spoon measurements are really vague measurements in baking and in the worst case the product will be ruined if you don't use an exact measurement.
Hi Kai,
That's right! Especially in Finnish recipes, we give the quantities in doses, because many Finnish home bakers don't own a kitchen scale 🙂 Of course, you can't get the same accuracy with measurements when using a kitchen scale.
Can this tiger cake recipe also be made in a round cake tin? That way it would be more traditional.
Hi Iitu!
Of course. 🙂
Couldn't the ingredients, e.g. flour, also be listed in grams in the recipes in brackets?
Thanks for the good recipes!
The last cake burned a bit (I didn't remember to set the alarm), but I'll try again.
I do weigh and have changed the recipes I use to grams, decilitres and spoons are vague. An inexpensive kitchen scale costs about 10-15 euros.
