Handy hints for optimum results.

It is normal for cakes to rise only 1/2 way up the bread pan. The texture should be nice and light.

Due to the high sugar and fat content in cakes, we suggest you always use the Light crust colour setting to prevent the side from burning.

Avoid using double quantities of cake mix, the larger cake will not cook through and be dense in texture in the breadmaker.

We recommend the use of packet cake mixes, available from all supermarkets.

Allow the cake to cool in the bread pan for at least 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Loosen the sides with a plastic spatula and gently slide out.

Do not use Time Delay Setting when baking the cakes as the ingredients will spoil.
