You wish to cook to your own
recipe.
Refer to the instructions in the tables for similar types of food.
How to check that a sponge cake
is cooked properly.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time
specified in the cooking instructions, pierce the deepest part
of the cake using a cocktail stick. The cake is done if the
cocktail stick comes out clean.
The cake collapses.
Next time you should add less liquid or set the oven
temperature around 10 degrees lower. Observe the cooking
times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the centre
but is lower at the edges.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. As soon as
the cake is ready, carefully loosen the cake around the edges
using a knife.
The cake is too dark.
Select a lower temperature and cook the cake for a little
longer.
The cake is too dry.
Use a toothpick to make small holes in the baked cake. Then
drizzle fruit juice or alcohol over the top. Next time you should
decrease the temperature by around 10 degrees and reduce
the baking times.
The bread or cake
(e.g. cheesecake) looks fine, but is
soggy on the inside (soft, with
watery areas).
Next time you should add a little less liquid and cook for a little
longer at a lower temperature. For cakes with a moist topping,
you should first bake the base, sprinkle it with almonds or
breadcrumbs and then add the topping. Please observe the
recipe and the baking times.
The cake does not turn out when
turned upside down.
Allow the cake to cool for 5 to 10 minutes after baking, it will
then turn out of the tin more easily. If it still does not turn out,
carefully loosen the edges using a knife. Turn the cake upside
down again and wrap a cold, wet cloth around the tin. Next
time you should grease the tin well and add some
breadcrumbs also.
You have checked the oven
temperature with your own
thermometer and have discovered
a discrepancy.
The oven temperature was checked by the manufacturer. The
temperature was taken from the centre of the oven after a
specified time during a test roasting. Each piece of ovenware
and each accessory will affect the measured value, meaning
that there will always be a discrepancy.
