      Tips & Methods

      Baking Tips

      • Preheat your oven to 325ºF.
      • Grease the recommended pan and line it with parchment paper.
        If using a Bundt pan, apply a baking spray made with flour.
      • For best results, weigh all ingredients and bring them to room temperature.
      • Don’t open the oven door until the cake has set, unless the recipe instructs you to do so.
      • Your cake is done when it begins to shrink from the sides of the pan, springs back when touched or when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
      • Let your cake cool for 5-10 minutes before taking it out of the pan.
      • Cooled plain cakes (without frosting or pastry cream) can be double-wrapped first in cling film, then in aluminum foil and refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.
        To defrost a frozen cake, simply place the wrapped cake in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
      • Store plain or glazed cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or up to a week in the refrigerator.
      • Store frosted cakes and cakes baked with pastry cream in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
