Tip Tuesday - The good old sense of smell

Good morning,

So the is always that little dilemma of when to tell if a cake is done.......this can be tricky, opening the oven door to early is a big NO NO, you should not open an oven door until after at least 20 minutes of baking a standard cake otherwise you may end up with something that quite resembles a polo aka a cake that has sunk in the middle! 

Bringing me onto todays baking tip, you will know when a cake is nearly done when you can smell it! The good old sense of smell:)

Be sure to always do the toothpick test ( insert a toothpick into the centre of the cake if it comes out clean, you have yourself a fully baked cake). But once your kitchen is filled with a delicious smell you should be safe to open the oven door and check your cake! 

Happy baking
