Being a baking novice, I've wondered how a baker can create a cake recipe from scratch and know that it will work. When I found this "formula" I then understood the math and balancing of ingredients by WEIGHT not volume. Having the right proportions of flour, eggs, sugar, liquid and fat makes all the difference between the "rise & fall" of baked goods. The following is an *example* of the formula at work and not meant to be a specific cake recipe.

Steps:
- Basic formula, using weight, not volume:.
- Sugar = flour.
- Eggs = fat.
- Eggs + Liquid =Sugar.
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder for every 1 cup of flour.
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for each 1 cup of flour (baking soda is used if the recipe has a considerable amount of acidic ingredients).
- Don't forget the 1/2 teaspoon of salt as a flavor enhancer.
