TIPS TO CHECK FOR CAKES.

Set a timer for 5 minutes less than the time given in the recipe.
If the cake is not done return to the oven to finish baking.

WHEN THE CAKE IS DONE:
A fully baked cake will spring back when touched in the center.
The cake also draws away from the side of the pan.

A cake tester or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
The fresh aroma of butter and sugar wafting out of the oven, signals
you to check the cake, so trust your nose.

When you remove the cake from the oven, the structure is set.
But the structure will be fragile. So let the cake stand in the pan
on a rack for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Then run a knife around the edge of the cake.
Then place the rack over the pan and invert cake onto the rack.
Let the cake cool completely
