加拿大家庭烘焙大赛 第二季 第二季

This, the first week, is cake week, as the judges believe cakes will provide a good initial test to gauge the bakers' overall skill level. The signature challenge is to make an elevated version of a traditional fruit upside down cake. The contestants have two hours to complete the challenge. The challenges with this bake are getting the correct ratio of fruit to cake, picking the right fruit not only for flavor but also liquid content and cooking time which may affect the cake batter, and to prepare their pans so that the cake with the fruit releases properly from the pan to display what will be the attractive top. For the technical challenge, the contestants are required to make in two hours an orange chiffon cake. The judges will not only check for the proper cake texture and intense orange flavor, but also the additional garnishes of the glaze and the candied fruit.
