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.

When placing the cake in the oven, make sure the oven is not too hot, if it is, the cake will rise too quickly and there will be no time for the inside of the cake to cook at the same rate (in this case, what often happens is that the cake sinks in the middle).
If the oven is very hot, leave the oven door open until the temperature drops a little.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long to cool a cake before removing from pan?

It may vary depending on the type of cake, pan and kitchen temperature.
For most cakes, allow to cool about 25 to 30 minutes to ensure the cake doesn't fall apart.
After this initial cooling period, you can also run a knife along the edges of the cake to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
