18 Cake (1:10)

Your Morphy Richards breadmaker can also be used to bake a selection of cakes. The process is as simple as making bread; just follow the recipes provided on pages 20 and 21.

Alternatively you can also use the machine to make cakes from a cake mix where all you need to do is add water. In this instance, you should ensure the mixture is combined with the water before adding it to the machine.

19 Dessert (2:50)

This setting allows you to make other desserts as well as cakes in your breadmaker. The process is again straightforward and simple; just follow the recipes carefully on page 22.

4. Measuring the Ingredients

The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately. It is extremely important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. Do not use normal kitchen teaspoons or tablespoons. The ingredients must also be added into the Baking Pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid and dry ingredients should be measured as follows:

Measuring cup

The cup is marked in various ‘volume measurement’ scales. The recipes in this book use the ‘cup’ volume which is based on the ‘American’ cup of 8 floz and is conveniently marked in 1/16 divisions.

You must use a good quality set of accurate scales, we prefer to use the ‘cup’ measure for consistency and accuracy.

A

Ú

Û

B

C

Liquid measurements

Use the cup provided A Ú. When reading amounts, the measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat surface and viewed at eye level (not on an angle). The liquid level line must be aligned to the mark of measurement.

A ‘guesstimate’ is not good enough as it could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.

Dry measurements

Dry measurements must be done using the measuring cup provided A Û or using a set of weighing scales. Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and then once filled, levelling off with a knife B. Tapping a measuring cup will pack the ingredients and you will end up with more than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless stated.

When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients there are two double ended spoons (one for dry ingredients and one for liquid) and one single ended spoon (used primarily for dry ingredients) C. Measurements must be level, not heaped as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe B.

Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods with ease. This machine requires only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In basic cooking, normally ‘a pinch of this and a dash of that’ is fine, but not for breadmakers. Using an automatic breadmaker requires you to accurately measure each ingredient for best results.

•Always add ingredients in the order they are listed in the recipe.

•Please note that the measuring cups are based on the American standard 8 fluid ounce cup, NOT the 10 fluid ounce British cup.

•Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do not use larger amounts.
