CAKES AND PASTRIES
About the tables
•
The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
•
The temperature and baking time depend on the
consistency and amount of the mixture. This is
why temperature ranges are given in the tables.
Begin with the lower temperature and, if necessary,
use a higher setting the next time, since a lower
temperature results in more even browning.
Baking in tins
Sponge cake, simple
Sponge cake, delicate
(e.g. sandcake)*

Delicate fruit flan, sponge
Sponge base, 2 eggs
Sponge flan, 6 eggs
Shortcrust pastry base with crust

* Allow cake to cool in the oven for approx. 20 minutes
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower
microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
