What causes a cake to be dry and/or crumbly?

SuperMoist FAQ By Betty Crocker
To keep your cake from getting dry or crumbly, use all the eggs called for in the package directions and use large eggs, rather than small ones. If you're not sure what size eggs you have, measure them: 3 whole large eggs equals 2/3 cup; 3 egg whites equals 1/2 cup. Also, don't leave out the oil! Speaking of liquid ingredients, be sure to follow the directions on the package and measure carefully.

My cookie dough seems too dry and crumbly. What should I do?

Land O'Lakes: FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
If your cookie dough is dry and crumbly, try adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or cream. You may need to knead this liquid into the dough rather than beating it in with a mixer. Make sure the dough is at room temperature rather than chilled. The dough will spread more as it bakes producing a cookie that is crisper. Press the dough down on a greased cookie sheet rather than leaving the drop cookie in a ball on the sheet. Bake the cookies 1 to 2 minutes longer than what the recipe states.

Why is my bread small?

Bread Maker FAQs- Cooking with a Bread Machine
It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense.

My buds have dried to quickly and are very crumbly. What can I do?

FAQ
Too dry buds easily absorb humidity. Place them in a bag that has been lightly sprayed with mineral water. You can also spread them out and spray them 1-2 times with a hand-held water dispenser and then repack. The moisture tends to disperse quite evenly among the buds this way. Trifoliates or triploids are common to cannabis as a plant species. They possess three sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two. Approx. 2% of the population in Mandala strains exhibit this trait.

Can I can bread or cake in a jar?

National Center for Home Food Preservation | Canning FAQs
These products are not recommended for canning; choose recipes that you can freeze. In fact, most of these products are not really "canned." The directions call for baking in the jar and then closing with a canning lid. Many recipes for quick breads and cakes are low-acid and have the potential for supporting the growth of a bacteria like Clostridium botulinum if it is present inside the closed jar. One university's research showed a high potential for problems.

What is Ezekiel Bread?

Ezekiel, Essene and Manna breads are made from 100% sprouted grains, as opposed to all other commercially available sprouted grain breads which also have regular flour included in the recipe. The lectins in many grains are contained in the seed coat. The seed coat is actually metabolized by the seed/grain when it is germinated, thereby eliminating the lectin and rendering the food useable. New brand names of sprouted grain bread are continually coming to market.
