Oven Baking
Uneven rising of cakes
Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on
the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing,
e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be
checked both left to right and front to back.
The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Cooking at too high a temperature, reduce by 10˚C.
2. Using a traditional margarine and sugar creaming method
with soft margarine can cause sinking of cakes. Try an
all-in-one method and reduce oven temperature by 10˚C.
3. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine (use
the all-in-one method).
