Cakes

Handy hints for optimum results.

It is normal for cakes to rise only 1/2 or 3/4 of the way up the bread pan. The texture should be nice and light.

The sugar and fat content in the cake mix will affect the colouring of the cake. We suggest you always select the Light crust colour to prevent the sides from burning.

Avoid using double quantities of cake mix, as the cake may be dense in texture. Note: We recommend you use packet cake mixes, available from all supermarkets.
