Cakes and baked items
Recommended settings for cakes and baked items.
The temperature and baking time depend on the con-
sistency and amount of the mixture. This is why ranges
are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and,
if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. A lower
temperature results in more even browning.
Baking tips
We have compiled a few tips to help you achieve a
good baking result.
Issue
Tip
You want your cake to rise evenly.
¡
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin.
¡
After baking, use a knife to carefully loosen the cake
from the baking tin.
You do not want small baked items to stick to each
other when baking.
Leave a minimum clearance of 2 cm around each item
to be baked. This allows enough space for the baked
items to expand and brown on all sides.
Determine whether the cake is ready.
Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If
no dough sticks to the wood, the cake is ready.
You want to bake using your own recipe.
Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Use bakeware made of silicone, glass, plastic or
ceramic.
¡
The bakeware must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C.
¡
Cakes in this bakeware brown less.
¡
When using the microwave, the cooking time is
shorter than the time shown in the table.

crowaves.
¡
