Nevertheless, I am all ready to prepare my first combination cake and started to prepare the ingredients.
But after putting it into the oven for merely 10mins, the batter start to ooze out from the mould. At first just a bit was coming out from the left.. then... from the right... and the top.... i did not know what i should do with it. Don't dare to open the oven to clear up the mess as it might jeopardize the process further? I decided to let it go and see what happens after 45mins of baking. It looks really horrible and i have to test using the skewer couple of times as its taking quite a long time to be fully cooked.
After a whole 1 hr and 15 mins, i switched off the oven and let it cool inside for a little while more.. finally... here's the end product... I am very upset and am totally clueless on what has cause this??
After leaving it to cool and left it to chill in the fridge for 2 hours, i decided to cut the cake... and its abit too sweet..and wet... =(
Hmmm.. its a disaster this round... but i will try again using a proper round tin tray for this cake the next time. Hope things will turn out better!
Well, i guess this is the nicest pic for today's bake =]
3 Thoughts of the day:
Hi, I think you can try using a normal baking pan next time. This ring mould are meant for mousse cake rather than normal oven baking. The pan size of your heart shape could be smaller? as such the batter didn't have enough room to expand. Do note that a 7" heart-shape pan will be smaller than a 7" round pan, in terms of the volume of batter it can hold. I read that the cake pan should only be filled up to 70% with batter. Baking is really a science, so it is better to follow the recommended pan size. Don't be upset...we all learn from failures...I am sure your next bake will be a great success :)
Thanks a million happy homebaker, I have learnt from this and surely will try it using a normal round baking pan the next round. =) Baking is surely something not easy and i will continue to learn and enjoy this wonderful sweet journey.. hehehez. Cheerios!!!
I did the same thing too, and put it in a small tin. Thank you for the tip. I think it will be better the next time. Thank you!
