Tips for cakes, biscuits and slices

• Whencooked,acakeshouldshrinkslightly

fromthepan.

• Whentestingmostcakes(notsponges,

fruitcakesorcheesecakes),gentlytouch

thesurface;itshouldfeelfirm.Atthis

stage,removethecakefromtheovenand

closetheovendoortoretaintheheat.

Insertathinskewerintothedeepestpart

ofthecake.Nouncookedmixtureshould

adheretoit.

• Testingcakedonenessshouldbedone

quickly.Ifthecakeneedstobereturned

totheoven,theovendoorshouldbe

openforaminimalamountoftime.

Rapidtemperaturechangemaycausean

undercookedcaketosinkinthemiddle.

• Formosttypesofbiscuits,youcantest

iftheyarecookedbygentlypushingthe

biscuitonthetraywithyourfinger.Ifit

moveswithoutbreaking,thebiscuitis

cooked.

• Donotoverbeatanymixture.Becareful

thatyouonlymix/blendmixturesforthe

specifiedtime.Whenfolding,dosountil

justcombined.Overbeatingormixingcan

causetoughness,closetexture,excessive

shrinkageoreffectrising.

• Curdlingcansometimesoccurwhen

addingeggstoamixture.Ifthishappens,

continuewiththerecipeasitwillcome

backtogetherwhenthedryingredientsare

• Ifcakesbegintooverbrown,coverthetop

looselywithfoiltoprotectitfromthetop

elementoftheoven.

• Toobtainthegreatestvolumewhenbeating

eggwhites,besurethebowlandbeater

arecompletelycleananddrybeforeuse.

Thesmallestamountofgreaseorwatercan

preventthewhitesfromaerating.

Cookery tips for best results

• Theterm“softpeaks”meansthattheegg

willcurlandmayfallfromthebeater.

• Theterm“firmpeaks”meansthattheegg
