Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time given
in the recipe, pierce the tallest point of the cake with a cocktail
stick. The cake is done if the cocktail stick comes out clean.

10 degrees. Observe the cooking times in the recipe.

cake is done, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a
knife.

food can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always cut the
baking paper to fit the baking tray.
Use the deeper universal pan next time.
Always use 3D-hot air
