Dessert recipe questions
How do I know when a cake is properly baked?
Insert a skewer or cocktail stick into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, it's done. The cake should also spring back lightly when pressed and begin pulling away from the tin's edges.
Can I freeze homemade desserts?
Most desserts freeze well for up to three months. Cakes, brownies, and baked goods should be wrapped tightly in cling film then foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge or at room temperature. Add frostings and glazes after defrosting for best results.
Why are my brownies cakey instead of fudgy?
Cakey brownies typically result from too much flour or eggs, or over-mixing the batter. For fudgier results, reduce flour slightly, don't overbeat after adding dry ingredients, and avoid overbaking. Check a few minutes before the recommended time and remove when just set.
