What’s more satisfying than baking a cake? Composing a flawless cake infused with love, care, consideration, and just the right touch of heat!
Let’s dive deep and understand how setting the temperature for baking a perfect cake plays a significant role in mastering the art of baking and what tips and tricks are there that could be followed to perfect your masterpiece!
No matter how many baking tools you use or how much effort you put into building your masterpiece, sometimes it only takes a little heat to perfect a cake. Here are some tips that will help you in your baking journey!
An Oven Thermometer Goes A Long Way!
Ovens and other baking machines have temperature variations. A reliable oven thermometer will benefit you by accurately measuring the internal temperature, and you’ll also be able to taste-check if the cake is even slightly undone.
Don’t Forget To Pre-Heat!
Preheating your ovens, OTGs, or pressure cookers can bring life to your cakes! If you want your cakes made at light speed or comparatively faster than before, start preheating!
Patience Is A Key Element
We all know how hard it is to resist opening the oven and smelling the half-baked cake. The smell alone is enticing, but not opening the oven every now and then and patiently waiting for the cake to be done is more rewarding!
Now that you’ve witnessed some of the tips and tricks to baking a perfect cake, let’s examine the baking temperatures for different types of cakes!
Just Cakes
Your everyday occasional cakes, which can light up anyone’s mood at any given time, are baked at 180-190°C for 25-30 minutes. For different baking machines, you can also lower the temperature and increase the time or vice versa. Ovens are usually the best choice for baking cakes; however, the cake oven temperatures might vary according to the different settings of different types of ovens.
Cheesecakes
You have not enjoyed cheesecake until you’ve removed it from the oven and carefully placed it on the counter to avoid messing with its soft, jello-like structure. When your spoon slides right off the cake, leaving behind the buttery texture, you realize why baking it at 325°F for about an hour and 15 minutes was worth the wait! You can also try baking it until the top looks slightly dry, especially at the edges. If the middle is somewhat wobbly, like jello, that’s fine too!
Sponge Cakes
Who doesn’t love a soft and spongy cake? Probably no one! For an evenly spongy cake, try heating the oven to 180C-160°C. Keep baking it in the centre of the oven for 25-30 minutes. Insert a light wooden stick or skewer to check if the cake is made to perfection, and then enjoy the sweet fruit of your labour.
Cupcakes
Baking cupcakes to perfection gives you the confidence to build a cake masterpiece, yet they differ in temperature and time. Baked in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, you can taste a piece of heaven in a cupcake. Try baking them at 350°F for 25 minutes if you’re in the mood for Jumbo Cakes.
Capping Words
You can’t call yourself a sweet tooth if, even after all this cake talk, you’re still not craving any type of cake (mainly a handmade cake). But sometimes, even baking a cake from scratch can be hectic and tiresome. Well, fret not, as Bakingo Cakes has a solution to all your cake-related worries! From cupcakes to just cakes to creamy cheesecakes, whatever you’re craving will be fulfilled—no matter what time or place.
