Rose Levy Beranbaum is an American baker, cookbook author and blogger.

Contents

She pioneered (but did not name [1] ) the reverse creaming technique of cake-mixing. In this process, the fat and flour are mixed first before adding the remaining ingredients. By coating the flour in fat, gluten development is inhibited, helping to prevent toughness. [2] This is in contrast to the usual creaming technique, which first mixes fat and sugar. [3] This method is also called the paste method. [1]

Beranbaum has noted that she was heavily influenced by Julia Child and James Beard. [4]

She has been married to Woody Wolston since 2021. [5]
