is completely cooked in the middle.

is lower around the edge.
The fruit juice overflows.
Small baked items stick to one
another during baking.
The cake is too dry.
The cake is generally too light in col-
our.
The cake is too light on top, and too
dark underneath.
The cake is too dark on top, and too
light underneath.

You were baking on several levels.

darker than those on the lower baking

Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough res-
idue, the cake is ready.
Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature to be 10 °C lower and extend the baking time.
Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
Next time, use the universal pan.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to
expand well and brown on all sides.
Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
If the shelf position and the cookware are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or
extend the baking time.
Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking
time.
Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessories, not directly against the back wall.
Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
Select a slightly lower temperature.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back
wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
Always select hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in
baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For cakes with a moist
topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around
the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet
cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
