We all do it. Crave sweets. Some people enjoy bought pre-made baked goods and some people enjoy baking their own treats. If you love baking, then this EGOlogical tip is perfect for you. Now who doesn’t love a good cake? When you’re mixing the ingredients together, eating it seems just moments away. However, it unfortunately isn’t. Once you put it in the cake pan, the recipe will require you to bake it for 30-35 minutes. That’s a long time for your oven to be sucking energy and gas! Therefore, I am going to encourage you to bake a batch of cupcakes instead of a cake. By baking cupcakes, it cuts the baking time in half due to the smaller size of the individual “cake.” Cupcake recipes typically require a baking time of 15-20 minutes, which is half the baking time of baking a cake. By reducing the baking time, you will reduce the amount of pollution it took to run your energy and gas and you will also cut costs on your energy bill (gas too if you have a gas oven).
A few more cupcake baking tips: don’t use the paper liners, just oil, butter, or Pam the cupcake pan. This will reduce the production of paper and reduce your spending costs. Also, make sure you don’t leave your oven on too long before and after you are done baking your cupcakes. Turn it on and be ready to put the cupcakes in right when the oven is ready and once they’re done, turn the oven off right away. So next time you’re craving to bake a yummy treat, bake a batch of cupcakes, not a cake, and enjoy!
