Margarines
What is margarine?
Whereas shortenings are made from 100% fat, margarines also contain water in the same way that butter does. This makes them softer and more pliable than shortenings, and therefore easier to mix.
AAK cake margarines are carefully formulated to deliver maximum volume, stability, shelf life, lightness and consistency of taste, all year round.
Ideal for all cake types, recipes and processes, AAK margarines’ soft texture and wide temperature tolerance facilitates mixing, and produces a smooth stable batter without curdling. They are the perfect solution if you’re aiming to produce an indulgent bake. Margarines are also a great choice if you’re reformulating to cut calories or reduce sugar or saturated fats. We also offer a range of frosting margarines, specially developed for cake toppings, fillings and frostings. Our Customer Innovation experts can help, advise and recommend solutions to whatever formulation issues you may have.
