Do you use a hand mixer or a spoon to beat your cake?

I always use my mixer, using the mixer puts air into the cakes that you bake and makes them raise higher. It is hard to get lumps out of mashed potatoes with a spoon or a fork, using the mixer makes things creamy. I remember granny using a tato masher that was like a big spoon with holes in the bottom and she would mash it up and down in the potatoes, I can't live with out my mixer.

I usually use a whisk, or if it's not handy, a spoon. One thing I discovered is that if you mix the dry ingredients very well before adding the liquid, it only takes a few strokes to finish it. It always turns out well when I do that.

When I am making cakes and cookies I use my hand mixer. I do muffins by hand though because they turn out better if you only mix enough to just moisten the flour. Otherwise they get a little tougher the more you mix.

I get alittle lazy at times to take out the blender and all so use the spoon or my hand instead. However, it does turn out better with a blender.

Hi sudalunts. I always use a mixer when I make my cake. My arm would get to tired if I tried to mix it by hand lol. I have an old stand mixer that I've had for several years but I hope to get a small hand mixer to use for little jobs so I don't have to drag the big stand mixer out whenever I want to mix something. Have a good lotting day.

when i am going to make a cake i always use an electric blender. not only because its easier but like you said its tiring and it always comes out better. plus when you beat it with the mixture you can be sure that your getting all the lumps and what not out of it. i would say you should always take the blender out it is way worth it. happy cake making :)

I have both a hand held electric mixer, and one of those ones that is on it's own stand. I almost always use the one on the stand for everything, including cake mixes. It's been years since I've done it by hand lol. I think the ingredients come out into a smoother and better blended batter when I use a mixer.

My family doesn't eat cakes very well. But when I make one I drag the little mixer out. It is so much easier to use than the spoon. some time though I will use a wire wisk too. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I usually use my mixer. It just seems like things get mixed better using a mixer then doing it by hand. I don't know if things taste better but the batter looks smoother.

i like to use spoon the most the time..if i am hungry i will like to sue my hands..but spoon is the best one..while infornt of others..or out of home..noneed to care take of our hand..before using our hands to eat..we have to wahs it..again after eating we have to wahs it..so these and bore.,..have a nice time with us

Most of the time I use a mixer. I do stir a fresh apple cake or a blackberry cake by hand so the apples or blackberries will reamin a bit chunky in the cake. Seems like if you use a mixer it smashes them up a bit too much. I like chunks of apple in my apple cake.

When I make cake I genarally use my electrical blender. It saves the time .
