I wish you could still get \"baking liquid\" in the UK. Stork used to

it, and then there was Flora Cuisine which was the same. It\'s a
kind of
liquid margarine sold in plastic bottles you keep in the fridge.

Something like that? I see quite a few similar products but they\'re
all a
gallon or larger sizes and seem to be from restaurant supply houses.
Looks similar, though rather a large quantity and not available from
Amazon UK. (Not that I would buy that sort of thing online.)
I doesn\'t say that it can be used for baking cakes. Flora Cuisine said
that is could be used for general frying as well as cake making, but I
never saw the point as there are lots of vegetable oils available for
that. (Margarine is an emulsion of edible oil and water; I suppose
that\'s needed for cake making or people would just use oil.)
Generally, margarine is not recommended for cake making. Baking relies
on a balance between water and fat. The water in margarine can produce
undesirable results.
That is quite simply untrue.
Indeed. I assume that butter is an emulsion in any case.
We\'ll take it as read that Commander Kinsey is not an expert on
anything.
