Tips For Homemade Cake Recipes


Don't waste time greasing and lining baking tins - To make work easier for homemade cakes, I recommend using flexible silicone bake ware. These are non-stick so it's just a matter of pouring in the cake batter. Because it is flexible, just twist the bake ware to release the cake to place on a serving plate.

Take the cake out of the oven as soon as it is cooked to retain its moistness. Don't leave it in the oven, or it'll overcook.

Be certain that the cake is completely cool before applying frosting or Nutella as a topping.
