Baking tips

You want to bake according to your own
recipe.
Use baking tins made of silicone, glass,
plastic or ceramic materials.
How to establish whether sponge cake is
baked through.
The cake collapses.
The cake has risen in the middle but is
lower around the edge.
The cake is too dark.
The cake is too dry.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks
good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky,
streaked with water).
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish
when it is turned upside down.
You have measured the temperature of the
oven using your own meat thermometer
and found there is a discrepancy.

Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. Cakes in these baking tins will be
less brown. When using the microwave, the cooking time will be shorter than the time
shown in the table.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe,
poke the cake with a cocktail stick at its highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out
clean, the cake is ready.
Use less liquid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower and extend
the baking time. Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake care-
fully with a knife.
Select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a toothpick. Then drizzle fruit
juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees
higher and reduce the baking time.
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature.
When baking cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first, cover with almonds or
bread crumbs and then add the topping. Please follow the recipe and follow the bak-
ing times.
After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5 to 10 minutes, then it will be easier
to turn out of the tin. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using
a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold,
wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin well and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.
The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer after a specified period of
time using a test rack in the centre of the cooking compartment. Ovenware and
accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always be some dis-
crepancy when you measure the temperature yourself.
