Re: Baking - The Beginners Guide
If baking is something you are serious about, then I would recommend you to invest in some good quality pans. Apparently, the dark pans (baker's secret) are really bad quality. They tend to overcook cakes. I invested in pans by Wilton. The ones by Betty Crocker are good quality as well.
Another thing, it is important to take the cake out of the pan immediately. Don't let it sit and cool as it will continue cooking in the pan. Just put it on a cooling rack for at least 3 hours and let it cool. After that, you can refridgerate it, etc.
