How to tell when a cake is done
The cake recipes in this booklet specify a baking range in minutes within which the cake should finish baking and be “done.” However, before removing the cake from the oven, test it for doneness by touching the top of the cake in the center lightly with finger. If the cake springs back leaving no impression, the cake is done. Also, insert a toothpick or wire cake tester in the center, and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If any dough adheres to the tester, longer baking is needed.
Cakes come out of pans readily with Spry Pan-coat ([p. 16]) and proper cooling.
