Cake Techniques
Layer Cakes. Use a mix or your own conventional recipe. Follow recipe or package directions for
preheating and baking instructions. Use baking rack and turntable to bake two layers at once, in AUTO
BAKE.
Tube or Bundt Cakes. Do not preheat oven. Bake cakes for three-fourths of time on recipe or package
directions using LOW MIX. Bake cake on broiling rack. If arcing occurs with fluted tube pan, place a
heat-and-microwave-safe dish or plate between pan and broiling rack.
Angel Food. Do not preheat oven. Bake your recipe or a mix 25 to 30 minutes on LOW MIX or until
crust is golden brown, firm and looks very dry in Angel Food Cake pan.
Loaf Cakes or Quick Breads. Do not preheat oven. Bake for three-fourths of time on recipe or package
directions using LOW MIX. Test for doneness at minimum time. If loaf is not done, let stand in oven a
few minutes to complete cooking.
