Baking tips
Oven levels
Depending on the height of the pastry or cookies,
place the baking sheet on the second or third
level from the bottom. Tins should be placed on a
rack on the first or second level from the bottom.
Tins are important
The material from which the tin is made is
extremely important. The best tins are made from
black tin or are lined with a special synthetic
material: these tins absorb the heat the quickest
and can shorten the baking time.
How to test whether or not a cake is cooked
Prick a skewer into the cake at its thickest point
about 10 minutes before the end of the given
baking time. If the skewer remains dry and no
cake mixture sticks to it you can turn off the oven
and use the residual heat to let the cake cook
thoroughly.
The cake has not risen proper
Use less liquid next time, or set the oven to a
temperature 10 °C lower. You should adhere
exactly to the mixing times given in your cookery
book.
The cake has sunk in the middle
The cake has risen beautifully at the edges but
sunk in the middle. Do not grease the sides of the
cake tin. Loosen the cake carefully with a knife
after baking.
The cake is too dark on the top
Put the cake on a lower ridge in the oven, set
a lower temperature, bake the cake for a little
longer and, perhaps, use black baking tins.
The cake is too dark on the bottom
Put the cake on a higher ridge in the oven and
set a lower temperature.
The biscuits stick to the baking sheet
Slide the baking sheet back into the oven
for a moment and then remove the biscuits
immediately.
The cake will not turn out of the tin
Carefully loosen the edge with a sharp knife.
Turn the tin upside down again and cover with
a cold, damp cloth a couple of times. Next time
grease and flour the tin well.
