What to do if... The solution
... your cake baked on a tray is too light at the bottom? Insert the cake one level lower and take accessories that you
don't need out of the oven.
... your cake baked in a tin is too light at the bottom? Do not insert the cake pan in the oven on the tray, but on the
rack.
... your cake/cookies are too dark at the bottom? Insert the cake/cookies at a higher level.
... your cake is too dry? Set the oven temperature slightly higher. Preheat the oven.
... your cake is doughy inside or meat is not done inside? Set a slightly lower baking or roasting temperature. Note: you
cannot shorten baking or roasting times by increasing tempera-
tures. It is better to choose a slightly longer baking or roasting
time if cake dough is to rise longer.
... your tin-baked or loaf cake is too dark at the back when
using hot air? Don't place the cake pan directly in front of the oven's rear wall,
but in the center.
... the cake collapses? Next time, use less liquid or set the oven temperature lower by
10°C (approx. 50 °F). Pay attention to the mixing times speci-
fied in the recipe. Do not open the oven door too early.
... the cake has risen in the middle and is lower at the sides? Grease the springform's edge. After baking, loosen the cake
carefully with a knife.
... your cake is too dark at the top? Insert it at a lower level, choose a lower temperature and bake
the cake slightly longer.
... your cake is too dark at the bottom? Insert it at a higher level and choose a lower temperature the
next time.
... your fruit flan becomes too light at the bottom and fruit
juice overflows? You are best advised to use the deeper grill tray for baking next
time.
... your cake is too dry at the bottom? Use a toothpick to pierce small holes in the finished cake. Then
trickle fruit juice or something alcoholic over it. The next time,
choose a temperature 10°C (approx. 50 °F) higher and shorten
the baking time.
... your bread or cake looks good (done) from the outside,
but is doughy or too moist on the inside? Next time, use a little less liquid and bake a little longer at a
lower temperature. In the case of cakes with a moist topping,
pre-bake the base first, scatter almonds or breadcrumbs over it
and then add the topping. Pay attention to recipes and baking
times.
