Tips for Baking
Tip
To tell if your cake is cooked
through
Push a wooden skewer into the highest point of the
cake. If the skewer comes out clean, you can switch
off the oven and utilise the residual heat.
The cake collapses (is sticky,
soft in the middle,
damp patches)
Check your recipe. Next time use less liquid. Check
that you have beaten the mixture for the correct
length of time, particularly when using a food-proc-
essor.
The cake is undercooked at
the bottom
Next time use a dark cake tin or place the cake one
level lower.
Cake/cake with moist top-
ping is not cooked through, is
unevenly browned.
Next time, bake at a lower
temperature and increase the baking time.
