Advice on how to bake cakes
Different amounts and types of pastry require
different temperatures and baking times. Try low
settings first of all and then, if necessary, use
higher temperatures next time. A lower
temperature will result in more uniform baking.
Always put the cake tray in the centre of the
turntable.
Baking suggestions
How to check if the cake is properly cooked
Start sticking a tooth pick in the highest part of
the cake 10 minutes before the end of the
baking time. When no dough sticks to the tooth
pick the cake is ready.
If the cake is very dark on the outside
Next time choose a lower temperature and let
the cake bake for a longer time.
If the cake is very dry
Make small holes in the cake with a tooth pick
after baking has finished. Then sprinkle the cake
with some fruit juice or alcoholic drink. Next time
increase the temperature by about 50ºF and
reduce the baking time.
If the cake does not come free when turned
Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after
baking and it will come out of the tin more easily.
If the cake still does not come free run a knife
carefully around the edges. Next time grease the
cake tin well.
