Hints and Tips

TIP 1 – SIEVE!

Remember to sieve your dry ingredients. This ensures your cake has a light and fluffy texture.

TIP 2 – NO PEEKING!

Once your cakes are in the oven, avoid opening the oven door. It could affect the oven temperature, causing your cake to suddenly collapse and flop.

TIP 3 – LEMONS

If your lemons are too hard, microwave them for a few seconds. This way you’ll get more juice from your lemons.

TIP 4 – INGREDIENTS

Always have your ingredients laid out in the correct order; that way you won’t miss any steps in a recipe.

TIP 5 – eggs

Crack each egg into a bowl separately. Then if one of your eggs is off it won’t ruin your batter.

TIP 6 – SKEWER TEST

Check your cake is cooked by inserting a skewer into the middle. If it comes out clean, it’s ready!
