How To Make A Good But Healthy Cake

One day, a friend asked me if I could make a healthy cake for her. After thinking for a moment I replied that all I could do was make a nice cake for him. I deliberately did not affirm or neglect the healthy prerequisites in his request, because it must be clear first the criteria of a healthy cake is actually a cake how?

If I am alone, what I really try to avoid or reduce is the use of food additives because I can often feel traces of the "weird" taste of the use of these food additives. And I do not like the taste of it so actually without really realizing what the health effects of food additives are, I consciously reduce and even avoid Food Additives.

What is Food Additives? Food additives are synthetic ingredients that are added to the food-drink to get a certain flavor. For example: essences, synthetic developer materials, synthetic dyes, synthetic preservatives and so forth.

For essences, sometimes when the main taste ingredients are less strong in taste and aroma, I still add a little essence. As for the ingredients of cake developers if still can be avoided I will avoid as much as possible. Because to make the cake expand can still use another way that is by shaking the eggs are good and true. But there are some recipes that are rather difficult to avoid the developer, because the soft, light and smooth textures that usually exist in certain types of cakes can only be refined by using certain food additives such as baking soda, baking powder, emulsifier, etc.

 For the development of the cake naturally can still be tricked by the method of shake and stir the right. The important thing is to know how to whisk the eggs and stir the correct dough so that the cake can keep expanding without additional ingredients. How to beat eggs in order to develop the cake, is as follows:
Beat eggs and sugar with the highest speed micser to inflate and stiffen. The benchmark is that when the muzzle is turned off and lifted from the dough, the dough appearance is as follows:

The dough is stuck on the microcurrent and does not flow,
When the muzzle is lifted, the end of the dough looks taper,
And also when the dough falls will be seen pile up to form a trail (like a snail's house) - indirectly lost and flat. After reaching this stage, stop shaking the dough. If not, the "foam" part of the dough and the top liquid will separate, so the cake is difficult to inflate properly.
After the eggs and sugar are shaken until thick and stiff, the next step is to mix the flour etc. The correct stirring technique:

Use a large spatula (try to palm-sized) to stir the dough. If difficult to get it, can use a rice cooker centong or spoon of rice.
Stir fold. Stir in a circular motion up to the base, the spatula facing upwards. This minimizes the detached air in the dough, so the cake without synthetic ingredients develops perfectly when baked in an oven or steamed.
Now by knowing how to shake and stirring the correct dough, usually the cake will still be able to expand beautifully though without additional developer materials. How to shake and stir the dough can also be read in my article here

Food coloring, especially from reputable brands or brands that already have permission from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency, is actually still quite safe for consumption. But this is a matter of personal preference or individual choice only. I like degdegan when eating a colorful cake without these colors represents taste. I mean, if the red color of the cake comes as the effect of using strawberries in the dough, then that's okay for me. If the color is really a color of the dye dye only and intended for beauty alone, well that's what I do not want to do.

For sugar, I actually prefer to use regular sugar or palm sugar or palm sugar or a mixture of both rather than having to use artificial sweeteners. My main reason, because the sweetness I think left after bitter taste that makes me annoying.
Thank you good luck
