Cookies and cakes have essentially the same ingredients at their core (flour, sugar, egg, and some sort of fat). It is the proportion of these which determines the result. This is why putting too much liquid in your brownie mix will result in a cakey brownie.


egg, flour, and have to experiment with proportions, I'm guessing. The smoothie was oats, walnuts, bananas, plain yogurt & half a kiwi. (I think I'll not be an idiot and use water instead of kiwi next time. I had to add a teaspoon of brown sugar to make up for that. I just thought it looked like fun). I was planning on comparing the amount to other recipes to find out how much of the other ingredients I need. I just wasn't sure what those are. For example, do I have to add butter?

I was always told that a cookie over a certain size would be characterized as a cake anyway. Tom - 21/10/2011 01:07:00 AM 607 Views
Hm. I've always been told the difference was a matter of consistency and proportion. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/10/2011 03:47:11 AM 301 Views
It seems to me that a cake is spongier, while a cookie will become crisp after it cools aerocontrols - 21/10/2011 05:18:01 AM 542 Views
