Advice on cake baking ware
The most commonly used type of baking ware is black metal tins. If you are also going to use the
microwave, use glass, ceramic or plastic baking ware. These must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 250°C. If you use these types of baking ware the eakes are not browned as
mueh.
Advice on how to bake eakes
Different amounts and types of pastry require different temperatures and baking times. Try low
settings first of all and then, if neeessary, use higher temperatures next time. A lower
temperature will result in more uniform baking. Always put the eake tray in the eentre of the
turntable.
Baking suggestions
How to cheek if the eake is properly eooked
Start sticking a tooth pick in the highest part of the cake 10 minutes before the end of the
baking time. When no dough sticks to the tooth pick the cake is ready.
If the cake is very dark on the outside
Next time ehoose a lower temperature and let the cake bake for a longer time.
If the eake is very dry
Make small holes in the cake with a tooth pick after baking has finished. Then sprinkle the cake
with some fruit juice or alcoholic drink. Next time increase the temperature by about 10“ and
reduce the baking time.
If the eake does not come free when turned
Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking and it will come out of the tin more
easily. If the cake still does not come free run a knife carefully around the edges. Next time
grease the cake tin well.
Advice on saving energy
When you are making more than one cake, it is advisable to bake them in the oven one after the
other when the oven is still hot. This lets you reduce the baking time for the second and later
cakes.
It is preferable to use dark coloured baking ware - painted or enamelled black - since such
baking tins absorb heat better.
When dealing with long baking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of
the time and make use of the residual heat to complete the baking.
