BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard
temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method instead of
the traditional creaming of the margarine and sugar.
Remember when using a food mixer or processor not to
over-cream soft margarine.

Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C
to suit personal taste.
Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2 l ⁄
4
'') in height for
roasting.
