Creaming fat and sugar, whipping egg whites, or whipping heavy cream are examples of what type of leavening?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e.Mechanical leavening
Creaming fat and sugar, whipping egg whites, and whipping heavy cream are examples of mechanical leavening. This type of leavening involves physically incorporating air into the mixture, which helps to lighten the texture and create volume in baked goods.
Unlike chemical leavening agents (such as baking soda or baking powder) or biological leavening agents (such as yeast), mechanical leavening relies on the physical action of mixing to introduce and trap air.
