Baking - The Beginners Guide

Sara, why do you keep putting the cake in the fridge/freezer? You need to let it cool at room temperature for about 3 hours before doing anything to it. Take it out of the pan and leave it on the cooling rack.

What is a spring pan? I’ve seen them but never tried them before. I don’t understand the purpose of them.

Don’t beat yourself up about how the cake looks. Considering you haven’t taken any lessons, it’s quite good.

thanks

When I was looking for recipes to make cheesecake, majority of instructions called for a springfoam pan…sO i bought this for $3.

The springform pan is a two-piece pan that not only has sides that can be removed but the bottom comes out too. There is a round base and an interlocking band, usually 2 to 3 inches high, that forms the sides, opening and closing with the flick of a latch. The pan pieces are assembled for baking, and then, once the contents have cooked and cooled, the band is opened and removed. Because the cake remains on the pan’s base, the springform is perfect both for delicate confections, and for the flourless chocolate cakes, and creamy cheesecakes.

I just had a slice of it, and I can honestly say the food coloring didnt affect the taste one bit. Both of us liked it.
