    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What is the difference between a loaf cake and a regular cake?

    Regular cakes are baked in squares or round tins, while a loaf cake is always baked in a loaf pan.

    How do you add moisture to a loaf cake?

    You can either brush the loaf cake with a simple syrup glaze, fill it with mousse, frost it, soak it in milk, or chill it.

    Should I oil my loaf pan?

    Yes, properly greasing the loaf pan is necessary to remove the baked loaf from the oven. 
    Shortening, butter, or cooking oil can all be used.
