Test your cakes for doneness

While they are still in the oven. Because of variances across individual ovens, it is best to test for the proper consistency rather than solely relying on time and visual appearance as an indicator.

It may not be the oven

Cake problems may be in the mixing of the batter. Overbeating can cause cake structure to break down and excessive shrinkage of the cake. Underbeating can result in lumpy cakes that may not be cooked thoroughly. All ingredients should be at room temperature—not out of the refrigerator. Make sure to follow the recipes directions for how long the batter should be mixed and recommended times.

Stuck cake?

Allow cake to cool in cake pan on a rack for 10 minutes before removing. Larger cakes (over 14 inches in diameter) may take 15 minutes. If the cake has cooled too long, reheat in the oven at 250°F for a few minutes.
