Note: When using two shelf positions at the same time (e.g. to bake two plate tarts, full oven of bread etc.) tins should be interchanged half way through the cooking period. When baking two trays of scones, small cakes, at the same time, the lower tray may require to be baked for a few minutes longer than the top tray.
If soft tub margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the manufacturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarine or butter only.
