Distinction in Dairy Cake
Question
I wanted to ask about baking a dairy yeast cake. How can this be done in practice? I understand that a noticeable change is needed so that it won't be confused as pareve. Is it sufficient to make the cake thicker and wider?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
There is no need for a change when baking a dairy cake, only when baking bread. The distinction is because bread is eaten with both meat and dairy, so if it is made meaty or dairy, a distinction is needed to avoid eating it with the other type. However, a cake, which is sweeter, is not usually eaten with meat or dairy, so it can be made without distinction.
