How to check that a sponge
cake is cooked properly.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time given in
the recipe, pierce the tallest point of the cake with a cocktail stick.
The cake is done if the cocktail stick comes out clean.
The cake collapses.
Next time, use less liquid or decrease the oven temperature by
10 degrees. Observe the cooking times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the
centre but is lower at the
edges.
Do not grease the sides of the springform cake tin. As soon as the
cake is done, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a
knife.
The cake is too dark at the
top.
Insert it at a lower level in the oven, select a lower temperature and
cook the cake a little while longer.
The cake is too dry.
Use a toothpick to make small holes in the finished cake. Then
drizzle fruit juice or alcohol over the top. Next time you should
decrease the temperature by around 10 degrees and reduce the
baking times.
The bread or cake
(e.g. cheesecake) looks fine,
but is soggy on the inside
(soft, with watery areas).
Next time you should add a little less liquid and cook for a little
longer at a lower temperature. Cakes with fruit topping: Precook the
base first of all. Sprinkle with almonds or breadcrumbs and then
place the topping over this. Please observe the recipe and the
baking times.
