I have a question regarding whether or not I should have whisked my cake batter or used my electric hand mixer. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I had made a "perfect sour cream chocolate bundt cake" two weeks ago and when I tried desperately to duplicate my feat yesterday, it was not as perfect. Okay, it was very close, but I saw a difference in the actual texture of the cake.
The recipe says to whisk the ingredients, but I couldn't remember if I actually used my hand mixer the first time, so I did BOTH...whisked till almost the end of the mixing procedure and then took my hand mixer to it. I just feel that it's not mixed well unless I do this. Could this be why it didn't look quite the same when I inverted this cake. I have pictures....first one is the "perfect" one and the second is yesterdays. It tasted fine, but one lady said she thought the second one was actually moister....I used absolutely the same ingredients with nothing being different.
Thanks for any info or advice. I'm just so uncertain when you should NOT mix with an electric mixer.
