Baking a Birthday Cake Without an Recipe! How to eyeball a cake! NO recipe cake! ➤ SUBSCRIBE to my channel here: /user/emmasgoodies ➤ My WEBSITE with written recipes: https://www.emmafontanella.com/birthday-cake-without-a-recipe Birthday Cake without a recipe: - 7 heaping tbsp All Purpose Flour - 10-14 tbsp Sugar - 3 heaping tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - Pinch of Salt - 1 tbsp Baking Powder - 16-22 tbsp room temp Milk ( Check video for batter consistency!) - 1 Stick of HOT melted Butter ( or 10 tbsp) - 2 room temp Eggs - 1 tbsp Coffee optional - Pinch of salt Many people will tell you that getting good results in baking requires you to use precise measurements, that you can’t just “eye-ball” recipes like you can with regular cooking. Well, it’s not true. Yes, it's better to use a precise recipe when making many baked goods, but I’ve designed this chocolate birthday cake recipe to be easy for you to estimate by eye. This is how Italian grandmothers used to make cakes back in the day - just eye-balling recipes. So for all of you people who hate weighing out ingredients, this is the perfect cake for you. Follow the tips in the video, and you can’t go wrong!

    @mesummika5693 years ago I can cook and I can bake and I have the chance growing up to get some nice ideas from some great cooks in the family. It allowed me to be a little more creative and think of what I could change and play around with. What I love about Emma and these things she shares is that even if you don't have fancy things to cook with or use, there is something we are able to go to and make. And also gives a person with no skill some confidence in these ideas. The first step to creating is really to gain confidence in what you are trying. She gifts this every time. ... 3
