Cake recipes
Cakes are risen using baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and do
not take as long as breads to rise. The cake is baked at a low heat
and the rising agent will produce smaller bubbles giving rise to a
denser cake than in a conventional oven.
Tips for making successful cakes
5 – 10 minutes into the mixing stage, open the lid and check that
the mixture is blended. If lumps of flour or other ingredients are
stuck to the sides of the pan switch the breadmaker off at the
mains supply and scrape the sides with a plastic spatula. Close
the lid and switch the breadmaker back on again.
Use softened or melted butter in the recipes.
Use beaten eggs in the recipes
Add fruit or nuts towards the end of the mixing section (first 18
minutes).
At the end of a program check that the cake is cooked using a
skewer. If the cake is cooked the skewer will come out clean. If
longer cooking is required, select the BAKE program and select
additional cooking time.
