Is there a large and small size of cake yeast?
There is no concept of "large" and "small" size for cake yeast.
Here's why:
* Cake yeast is not a thing: Cake yeast doesn't exist. Cakes generally don't use yeast for leavening. They are leavened with baking powder or baking soda.
* Yeast is for bread: Yeast is a living organism that ferments sugars and produces carbon dioxide, causing bread to rise. It's not used in cake recipes.
If you're looking for yeast, it comes in various forms, including:
* Active dry yeast: This is the most common type and needs to be rehydrated in warm water before use. It's usually sold in small packets or jars.
* Instant yeast: This type dissolves directly into the flour, eliminating the need for rehydration. It also comes in small packets or jars.
* Fresh yeast: This is a soft, cake-like yeast that's typically sold in blocks.
The amount of yeast you use will depend on the recipe, but it's not categorized by "large" or "small" size.
