Temperature when baking cakes
« on: June 19, 2012, 10:30:23 pm »

Can cakes be baked at a lower temp or will that stop the cake from rising?

How about the 1st ten mins on 180 then lower the temp to 150 would that work?


thanks  in advance :-*

With my old oven I cooked everything at 150 without any problems. I couldn't cook any higher or the bottom of a cake would burn. So I can't see a problem with it. Takes longer to cook though.
Muffins don't work well at low temperatures as the just seem to keep rising and over flow :(
