GOOD TO KNOW
Test with a skewer
Insert a metal skewer into the centre — if it comes out clean, it's done
Overcook rather than undercook
Slightly overcooked cakes hold their shape. Undercooked cakes sink in the middle
Cool before assembling
Bake the day before and ice on the morning of the party — never assemble a warm cake
Batter amounts are a guide
A little more or less than the recipe states is fine — no need to weigh unless you want to
