BAKING GENERAL

Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
Sinking of cakes
The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard
temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method
instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine
and sugar.
Remember when using a food mixer or processor not
to over-cream soft margarine.
