If using your own recipe. Look at cakes or baked goods in the table that are similar to your recipe.
This will help to determine if the cake
is cooked through.
About 10 minutes before the end of baking time according to your recipe, stick a
toothpick into the highest part of the cake. The cake is done when the batter no
longer sticks to the toothpick.
Cake collapses. Next time, use less liquid or set oven temperature 20 °F (10 °C) lower. Use the mixing
times specified in the recipe.
The center of the cake is higher than
on the sides.
Do not grease the sides of the springform or cake pan. After baking, carefully remove
the cake from the pan using a knife.
Springform or loaf cake is too dark in
the back.
Do not place the baking pan up against the back wall of the oven. Place it on the
center of the rack.
Cake is too dry. Use a toothpick to make small holes in the finished cake and pour drops of fruit juice
or alcoholic beverage over the cake. Next time, set the temperature 20 °F (10 °C)
higher and shorten the baking time or use the Combination oven mode.
The bread or cake looks good, but
is runny inside (overly moist, has
streaks of liquid running through it).
Next time, use less liquid. Bake a little longer and at a lower temperature. Prebake
crusts for pies and cakes with juicy/runny fillings. Sprinkle crust with almonds or
bread crumbs and then add the filling. Use the baking time specified in the recipe.
Cakes or baked goods brown
unevenly.
Set the temperature a little lower next time.
Reheat mode gently reheats food. The food tastes and looks as if it were freshly
prepared. Baked goods from the day before can also be reheated to their original
crispness.
