Tips & Tricks From the Purecane Kitchen

Let's be honest – baking can be tough. We're sharing some of our favorite baking tips and tricks to help iron out issues and make the whole experience more fun and delicious. 

Purecane Your Pans

Making pies or cakes? Get a tasty, candied outer layer with a sweet crunch by greasing your pans, then tossing with Purecane to completely coat the sides, then add your batter.

Freezer = Fluffy

Get extra fluffy cookies by rolling your dough into a log and freezing it, then slice into discs and bake. The cookie outside sets before the interior thaws resulting in super fluffy cookies.

Cakes Made For Layering

Planning on a layered cake? Cooling your cakes upside down on your cooling rack will flatten the tops, making them super easy for stacking.

Best With Sliced Bread

Place a slice of fresh white bread in a bag or container of cookies. The moisture of the bread helps keep the cookies soft and keep them from drying out.

Just Add Some Coffee

Want extra chocolaty brownies? Adding any type of coffee–from instant to espresso–to your bake, supercharges the chocolate flavor without a hint of coffee.

Stay In Shape

Help keep your cookies and pie crusts in shape by freezing them for 15 minutes before baking. This keeps the butter from melting as much in the oven, thus your bake keeps their desired shape!

The Perfect Drizzle

Need to thin your chocolate sauce? Adding liquid coconut oil (a drop at a time) will help thin your sauce to the perfect consistency for coating, drizzling, or whatever you’re doing!

Pressed Decoration

Use kid number & letter blocks to create pressed shapes in freshly baked cookies. Then fill with icing for easy and beautiful decorations that look professionally done!

Saved By Silicone

Do you have old baking sheets? Silicone baking mats are perfect to create an even baking surface resulting in more evenly browned cookies and fewer burnt ones.

Flour For Floating

Coat things like chocolate chips and fruit in flour before folding into your batter. It prevents them from sinking to the bottom of your bake and helps with even distribution!

A Grate Solution

If you need to use chilled butter, grate it and freeze it beforehand. The ready-to-use small pieces means less handling which means flakier pastries!

Frosting Fix

Frosting can be finicky but easily fixed. If it's too loose, add extra Purecane Confectioners Sweetener. If it’s too thick, slowly add milk or water until it's just right.
