If you want to use your own recipe. You can use a similar one to that listed in the cooking table.
How to check whether your sponge cake is
ready.
Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time indicated in the recipe, test the
thickest part of the cake with a thin wooden skewer. The cake is ready when the
skewer comes out clean, with no traces of cake mix left on the skewer.
The cake is too flat. Next time, try using less liquid or reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees.
Ensure you mix the batter according to the times given in the recipe.
The cake has a peaked centre, but the edges
have shrunken.
Do not grease the tin. Once the cake is ready, use a knife to carefully remove it
from the tin.
If the cake is too brown on top. Position the cake lower in the oven, reduce the oven temperature and bake it for
longer.
The cake is too dry. Use a skewer to make small holes in the finished cake. Pour a few drops of fruit
juice or alcohol over the cake. Next time, increase the oven temperature by
10 degrees and reduce the cooking time.
The bread or cake (fruit cake, for example) looks
fine on the outside but still has soft (soggy)
areas inside.
Next time, use less liquid and leave the product for a little longer in the oven, at
a lower temperature. The bases of cakes with juicy toppings should be baked
first on their own. Then sprinkle chopped almonds or breadcrumbs on the base
before adding the topping. Follow the recipe and observe the cooking times.
Biscuits are not evenly browned. Select a lower temperature; the biscuits will be browned more uniformly. Bake
more delicate pastries with top and bottom heating % on one level. Overhang-
ing greaseproof paper may also affect air circulation. Always trim it to fit the bak-
ing tray.
Fruit cake is uncooked at the bottom. Next time, put the cake on a lower level.
Juice from the fruit oozes out. Next time, use the universal tray if available.
Small pastries made with yeast may stick
together during baking.
Leave a space of about 2 cm between them. Then they will have enough space
to rise and brown on all sides.
