RECIPE TIPS

Use these two techniques to know when a cake is done:
Toothpick test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean with no batter sticking to it, the cake is done. If there are still some wet crumbs or batter stuck to the toothpick, leave the cake in the oven for a few more minutes.

Finger test: Gently press the center of the cake with your finger. If it springs back and doesn't leave an indentation, the cake is done. If you notice that your finger leaves indents when you press down, put the cake back in the oven for a few more minutes and check again.

How to get cake out of pan?
Remove the cake from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 25 to 30 minutes. Gently run a flexible knife around the edges of the cake. Ensure you reach all sides of the pan.

Place a wire rack or a serving dish on top of the cake pan. Hold the rack and the pan firmly together and carefully invert them. Gently tap the bottom of the pan or give it a few shakes to release the cake. Allow the cake to cool completely and serve.
