General Baking Tips

• Preheat your oven to 325ºF.
• Prepare the pan: Grease the recommended pan and line it with parchment paper. If using a Bundt pan, apply a baking spray that contains flour.
• For best results: Weigh all ingredients and bring them to room temperature.
• Avoid opening the oven door until the cake has set, unless the recipe instructs otherwise.
• Check for doneness: 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.
• Cooling: Let the cake cool for 5–10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
