See RecipeTo keep your baked goods moist, avoid overmixing the batter, measure ingredients accurately, and don't overbake. Using ingredients like buttermilk, oil, or yogurt can also help retain moisture.
Cakes often sink when they're underbaked or if the oven door is opened too early during baking. Make sure to bake your cake for the full time specified and check for doneness before removing it from the oven.
For chewy cookies, use more brown sugar than white sugar, and remove them from the oven when they're just barely set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Keep all your ingredients, especially butter and water, as cold as possible. Work quickly and handle the dough as little as possible to maintain the butter in solid pieces, which creates flakiness.
While baking is a science that usually requires precise measurements and ingredients, some substitutions can be made. However, it's important to understand how the substitute will affect the final product before making changes.
