🧈✨ Butter or oil?
It's one of the questions bakers debate the most. The truth is... there isn't a "right" answer.
At LilyCove Cakes, I use both, depending on what I'm creating.
🧈 Butter brings richness, depth of flavor, and a beautiful, tender crumb.
🫒 Oil creates cakes that stay incredibly moist and soft for days.
My chocolate cake, for example, is oil-based because that's what gives it the texture I'm looking for. Other cakes benefit from butter's rich flavor and structure. Every recipe is carefully developed to bring out the very best in that particular dessert.
But if you ask me what makes the biggest difference...
It isn't just the butter or the oil.
It's the time spent testing recipes. The technique behind every step. The attention to detail. And, above all, the love that goes into every cake.
Because baking isn't just about following a recipe.
It's about creating something that makes people smile with the very first bite. 🌸💕
