The temperature and baking time depend on the con-
sistency and amount of the mixture. This is why ranges
are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and,
if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. A lower
temperature results in more even browning.

Baking tips
We have compiled a few tips to help you achieve a
good baking result.
Issue
You want your cake to
rise evenly.
You do not want small
baked items to stick to
each other when baking.
Determine whether the
cake is ready.
You want to bake using
your own recipe.
Use bakeware made of
silicone, glass, plastic or
ceramic.

Tip
¡ Only grease the base
of the springform cake
tin.
¡ After baking, use a
knife to carefully
loosen the cake from
the baking tin.
Leave a minimum clear-
ance of 2 cm around
each item to be baked.
This allows enough space
for the baked items to ex-
pand and brown on all
sides.
Push a cocktail stick into
the highest point on the
cake. If no dough sticks
to the wood, the cake is
ready.
Use similar items in the
baking tables as a guide.
¡ The bakeware must be
heat-resistant up to
250 °C.
¡ Cakes in this bake-
ware brown less.
¡ When using the mi-
crowave, the cooking
time is shorter than the
time shown in the
table.
