Cakes baked through the spectrum of temperatures between 300áµ F and 400áµ F display gradual variants of these two extremes. Baking at 350áµ F is sort of a happy medium between 300áµ F and 400áµ F and creates a cake that has the best of both worlds. It has lightness, texture and caramelization induced flavor.
The cake pan is no bigger, I just want it higher. I'm making 2 x2 cakes and putting them on top of each other- so four cake mixes in total. I did something similar last year, so I know it works. I just couldn't remember how long each of them were cooked for. I have the first cake (2 mixes) in the oven now. The packet says to cook at 160 for 50-55 mins. I've got the oven at 150 and the timer set for one hour so I'll check it then and go from there. Does this sound ok? PS- whose idea was it to bake the all important birthday cake myself?
