Stork Hints & Tips

Why does my cake droop in the middle?
Droops and dips in cakes can be caused by adding too much baking powder, syrup or treacle. Having your oven set too high or opening the oven door too early can also produce a sunken cake. It can also be caused by over-mixing, particularly when using a food mixer
How can i tell if my cake is ready?
Test your cake is cooked by lightly pressing the top – if it’s firm and springy, it’s ready; if soft, it needs a little longer in the oven. Use a metal skewer for larger cakes; the skewer should come out clean with no uncooked mixture sticking to it.
