Cakes and pastries
Notes
The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency and amount of
the mixture. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with
the lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time,
since a lower temperature results in more even browning.
Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section following the
tables.
Always place the cake tin in the centre of the lower wire rack.
It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
