How to tell if the Cake is Cooked

cake-12

I’ve had this problem again and again, and I still suffer from it. One thing to remember is that your cake keeps cooking for a minute or two after you take it out of the oven. Also, a cake that is firm to the touch is not what you are looking for.

How to tell if your cake is fully cooked:

  1. The edges should pull away from the pan just a little bit
  2. The surface of the cake should feel soft and springy to the touch but not firm. If the surface breaks when you touch it the cake is obviously not done.
  3. A toothpick inserted in the center should not have streaks of batter on it. A few little crumbs are okay.
  4. If you’re still in doubt, check the center with a thermometer. The best temp is around 210 Fahrenheit.

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm so glad you're here. :) [Read More...]
