Advice on cake baking ware
The most commonly used type of baking ware is
black metal tins. If you are also going to use the
microwave, use glass, ceramic or plastic baking
ware. These must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 250ºC. If you use these types
of baking ware the cakes are not browned as
much.
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.
Der Kuchen wird sehr dunkel:
Wählen Sie beim nächsten Mal eine niedrigere
Temperatur und lassen Sie den Kuchen länger
backen.
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 10º 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.
Advice on saving energy
When you are making more than one cake, it is
advisable to bake them in the oven one after the
other when the oven is still hot. This lets you
reduce the baking time for the second and later
cakes.
It is preferable to use dark coloured baking ware -
painted or enamelled black – since such baking
tins absorb heat better.
When dealing with long baking times, you can
switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of
the time and make use of the residual heat to
complete the baking.
