Differences of batter between cake, brownies, muffins, pancakes and everything in between.

With or without eggs, using gluten free flour or not-cake, muffins, pancakes and brownies and similar baked products are called "QUICK breads" by the baking academia.


Cake (including cupcakes and sheet cakes)

More liquid like water, milk, coconut water and anything edible liquid. Use any kind of flour.


Muffins

Same batter as cake but muffins are for breakfast or snacking therefore adding fruits and nuts, and using flour with higher protein content.


Brownies and Blondies...

Are basically cookies. NO liquids at all unless you want them cake-y. Then add 2 tablespoons to a MAXIMUM of 1/8 cup of water, milk, etc.


Pancakes, hotcakes, flapjacks...

Ingredients are the same as cake or muffins but pancake batter needs to spread like water to get that round disc yummy shape. Therefore?...


Happy New Year folks and have a great time cooking! 🥰
