What “Dark Chocolate” to use in baking?

Whether it’s chocolate cake, brownies, or ganache. What dark chocolate should I use?

A lot of recipes mention to she deke chocolate but don’t specify the percentage of cocoa.. I’m partial to semisweet but I’ve always used 70% bittersweet for richer flavor.. is it okay to use semisweet chocolate (50%-60%)?

Shortbread: creaming vs. cutting butter into flour

What’s the main difference in texture when it comes to both methods?

I heard that cutting butter into flour yields a crumblier more delicate dough, I might be wrong

What about creaming butter with sugar the adding flour? How does it differ?

Can shortbread be made with melted butter?

I don’t get the point of making shortbread by pressing butter with the flour & sugar when you can pour melted butter, rub it all in and it will coat the flour.

Any ideas?

Any cat rescue/cat shelters in Riyadh?

I’ve searched high & low to no avail as most don’t respond to phone calls. I have a stray cat that i care for after it got hit by a car until it recovered now, I don’t have a place for it now & the family doesn’t approve of it staying with me.

Any ideas on where I could get help for it? Any adoption centers or anything

Question about reverse creaming

I’m n reverse creaming, you typically beat butter with the dry ingredients til you get a sandy texture, then add the liquid ingredients, but what to do when you also have oil in the recipe? Do you beat it along with the butter (both are fats)? Or add it after beating the butter with the dry ingredients?

This is butternut bakery’s banana cake recipe. I made it two times, making sure to follow instructions perfectly. First time I made it in 9x13 and this time I made in 8 inch round pans. Both times the bottom layer of the cake is much dense yet a bit gooey & firm.. what’s the reason behind that? Don’t get me wrong, this is the best banana cake I’ve ever tasted! It’s so moist and fluffy and is everything! But is it normal?

Here is the recipe: https://butternutbakeryblog.com/the-best-banana-cake/#tasty-recipes-20758-jump-target
