JAKARTA - Powdered milk is one of the ingredients that are quite important in making various types of cakes. This ingredient is often used to help enrich the taste, give a more fragrant aroma when baked, and support the texture of the dough to be softer.

In the process of making cakes, choosing the right ingredients is one of the important factors to produce the desired taste and texture.

However, until now, some home bakers still use general-purpose powdered milk because the options specifically formulated for baking needs are still relatively limited in the market.

Seeing this need, milk product manufacturers have introduced various baking ingredient innovations, one of which is through powdered milk products specifically designed for bread and cake making.

This kind of product is generally formulated to help produce a stronger aroma when baked, a more pronounced milk flavor, and a softer texture in bread and cakes. In cookies or cookies, the use of powdered milk can also help produce a crispier texture.

President Director of Fonterra Brands Manufacturing Indonesia, Yauwanan Wigneswaran, said preparing Lebaran dishes at home has become a tradition for many families in Indonesia.

"Preparing Eid dishes at home has become a tradition that brings warmth and togetherness for many Indonesian families. We see more and more people enjoying the process of making bread, cakes, and various homemade dishes as part of a way to express love to the family," he said in a press statement Anchor Milk Powder for Bread & Cake to VOI.

He added that the presence of milk powder products specifically for baking is expected to help home bakers be more creative in the kitchen, especially when preparing dishes for the family at Lebaran.

To inspire the community, the manufacturer also collaborates with a number of baking content creators. One of them is baker influencer Nurlisa Aulia Setyaningrum who is known to actively share various cake creations through social media.

Nurlisa Aulia Setyaningrum revealed that in the baking process, the selection of ingredients has an important role in the final result of the cake.

"As a self-taught baker who often experiments with making bread and cakes, I pay close attention to the selection of ingredients because in baking the process cannot be repeated like cooking ordinary dishes. Once the dough is made and baked, the final result depends very much on the ingredients used from the beginning," he said.

He added that the use of the right ingredients can help produce a richer cake aroma and taste. According to him, this can be one way for home bakers to present a more special Eid meal for the family.
