Hello mam,
I have two questions regarding baking:
1.if i prepare a batter for cake and my oven does not have the capacity of two tins can i keep the batter for about 40 mins and then bake the second cake.
2.Can i use margarine or low fat spreads which are less salty in baking cakes, tarts etc..

1. Not the ideal thing to do, but most of us have to do it sometimes. I do it too, not for too long though. Up to an hour is fine.
2. Yes you can.

Just bake it a little longer. Sometimes ovens differ so you have to adjust the time and temperature.

Hello mam,
I would want to know if you are doubling the quantity of ingredients in a recipe given for baking cakes for example instead of 1 cup of maida you are using 2 cups should we double the baking time also.

Not the baking time. In microwaving the timing has to be increased, according to instructions in the manual.

Sorry Chary,

Dear Niru,

I have 2 very important question about baking a simple cake.

Whenever I bake cake, the centre of the cake remains uncooked while the rest of the cake is perfectly baked. How can I solve this problem?

The second question is, when the baking is over, the dry fruits of the cake stick at the bottom layer . I want them to scatter here and there . Can you plz fix the problem?

Thanks in advance..

Swagata

1. This happens when you fill the tin more than half. Should be only half filled.

2. If the batter is thin, it will sink. Also you have to dust the fruit with flour before adding them. In case your recipe has a thin batter, you can sprinkle the fruit half way through the baking, in which case some will sink half way while some will stay on top.
