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.
Some of our techniques to make a moist cake: 1. Add milk or yogurt to the batter, this two ingredientes add moisture to the cake. 2. Add oil instead of butter. Oil keeps cakes moist for longer periods. 3. Don't overmix the batter. Mix until just combined. 4. Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking dries out the cake. 5. Use a toothpick to check the interior of the cake, it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not completely clean.
