Cooking Instructions

Brush ur baking pan with butter slightly (I use 8 inch pan). Divide the batter into three and pour one into the pan and bake in a preheated oven to 250° for 30 min until you insert a toothpick and comes out clean.

For a 9×13 inch sheet cake, bake for 36-40 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. With either size, make sure you rotate the cake pan once or twice during bake time. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan placed on a wire rack.

If you have too much flour in a recipe and not enough fat, like butter or oil, your cake is going to be dry and hard. For best results, I would encourage you to use a scale when baking, but if you don't have a scale, then just make sure you're using measuring cups correctly.

Some of Dawn's favorite baking tips:

Bake your cakes at 325° not 350°. This will allow your cake to rise more. Don't grease the sides of your baking pan. Greasing the sides of the pan will not allow your cake to climb the edges of the pan and grow tall.

Cake Baking and Temperature Time

Typically, a cake is baked at a temperature of 180-190 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes. However, the temperature and time may vary depending on the recipe and the size of the cake. It's crucial to follow the recipe instructions carefully to achieve the best results.

The key to a moist is more about the ingredients and baking time than the temperature of the oven, though it is important. I've found that 325*-350* is best for cakes. The internal temp of the cake should be 210* when completely done.

The general rule of thumb when baking is “the bigger the pan, the lower the temperature”. You bake a 9” round chocolate cake for about 30-35 minutes at 350° F (175° C). However, if you were putting the same recipe in a 14” pan, you would need to lower the temperature to 325° F (162° C) for 50-55 minutes.

Which Bundt pan is best for a 9" x 13" cake recipe? A. Joanne, bake your recipe calling for a 9″ x 13″ pan (or two 9″ round pans) in either a 10-cup or 12-cup Bundt pan. Increase the baking time by about 30% in the 10-cup pan, somewhat less in the 12-cup.

Here are the directions for baking our Betty Crocker Angel Food cake mix in a 13 x 9" pan. You can use metal or glass for this recipe. Happy baking!

Does it take longer to bake a cake in a glass pan? ›

As you can see in the photo, the slower transfer of heat to the batter means cakes baked in glass (or ceramic) will take longer to cook than those in metal (5 to 8 minutes longer, according to a test with yellow cake done by Cook's Illustrated).

While a 9×13 glass pan is ideal for baking an angel cake, you can use other sizes such as a tube pan or round cake pans. Just be mindful of adjusting the baking time and keeping an eye on the cake as it bakes.

Combine cake mix and pudding mix in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, Irish cream liqueur, oil, and water with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes. Pour batter over nuts in the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.

These Irish delicacies often are filled with spices and fruits. Irish Whiskey can be used to make these fine deserts as well. These cakes take on twist on a basic chocolate cake. They include marzipan frosting and items of holiday decor of course, such as mistletoe!

Probably the best known Irish Halloween tradition is the making of Barnbrack. This is a type of fruit cake which is eaten during Halloween. The tradition is that there is a ring, a coin and a piece of cloth baked in the cake.

I would use any of these three options depending on the type of cake. Plain flour - All purpose white flour. Self-raising - White flour with raising agents within. Strong plain flour - High gluten flour usually prefered when working with yeasts.
