Doneness Tests for Baked Items
By Addie
When a recipe says to 'bake until done', that sounds like a specific instruction, but in reality you must learn wha...
- Doneness Tests for Cakes:
- Usually cakes are baked until they are an even golden brown color over the entire surface. The edges can be slightly darker.
- Using your index finger, touch the cake lightly in the center. If the cake feels springy and the indentation fills up when you remove your finger, the cake is done.
- TAKE THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE:
- 210°. you're in any doubt, you can always take the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. The cake is done when the temperature in the middle is about 210°.
