MIXING TIPS
Converting Your Recipe 
for the Mixer 
The mixing instructions for recipes in 
this book can guide you in converting 
your own favorite recipes for 
preparation with your KitchenAid
®
 
Stand Mixer. Look for recipes similar 
to yours and then adapt your recipes 
to use the procedures in the similar 
KitchenAid recipes.
For example, the “quick mix” method 
(sometimes referred to as the “dump” 
method) is ideal for simple cakes, 
such as the Quick Yellow Cake and 
Easy White Cake included in this 
book. This method calls for combining 
dry ingredients with most or all liquid 
ingredients in one step.
More elaborate cakes, such as 
tortes, should be prepared using the 
traditional cake mixing method. With 
this method, sugar and the shortening, 
butter, or margarine are thoroughly 
mixed (creamed) before other 
ingredients are added.
For all cakes, mixing times may change 
because your KitchenAid
®
 Stand Mixer 
works more quickly than other mixers. 
In general, mixing a cake with the 
KitchenAid
®
 Stand Mixer will take about 
half the time called for in most traditional 
and non-packaged cake recipes.
To help determine the ideal mixing time, 
observe the batter or dough and mix 
only until it has the desired appearance 
described in your recipe, such as 
“smooth and creamy.”
To select the best mixing speeds, use 
the Speed Control Guide on page 15.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side 
of bowl as possible, not directly into the 
moving beater. The Pouring Shield can 
be used to simplify adding ingredients.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of 
bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the 
beater is not far enough into the bowl. 
See “Beater to Bowl Clearance” on 
page 14.
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake 
mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed, 
Speed 4 for medium speed, and 
Speed 6 for high speed. For best 
results, mix for the time stated on the 
package directions.
Adding Nuts, Raisins, or 
Candied Fruits
Follow individual recipes for guidelines 
on including these ingredients. In 
general, solid materials should be 
folded in the last few seconds of mixing 
on Stir Speed. The batter should be 
thick enough to prevent the fruit or nuts 
from sinking to the bottom of the pan 
during baking. Sticky fruits should be 
dusted with fl our for better distribution in 
the batter.
Liquid Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts 
of liquid ingredients should be mixed 
at lower speeds to avoid splashing. 
Increase mixer speed only after the 
mixture has thickened.
