Cooking tips

Here are some useful tips for getting a perfect cake with your springform pan:

• Better butter the pan: before pouring the batter into the pan, make sure to butter it well. This way you will avoid the cake sticking to the edges and you can easily remove it from the mold.
• Use parchment paper: if you prefer not to butter the pan, you can use parchment paper to line the bottom and sides. This way, even if the batter sticks to the mold, you can still easily remove the cake without breaking it.
• Adjust oven temperature: make sure to follow the recipe instructions regarding oven temperature. A temperature that is too high or too low can compromise the cake's baking.
• Check the cooking: to check if the cake is cooked to the right point, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, it means that the cake is ready. Otherwise, let it cook for a few more minutes.
• Cool completely: once baked, let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan. This way you will avoid breaking or deforming it.
• Decorate as desired: once cooled, you can decorate your cake as you prefer. You can use frosting, whipped cream, fresh fruit or anything else that comes to mind.

By following these simple tips, you will get a perfect cake every time you use your springform pan!

How to remove the cake from the pan

Once your cake is ready, it's important to know how to extract it from the pan without ruining it. Here are some useful tips:

1. Cool down the cake

Let the cake cool for at least 10-15 minutes before trying to remove it from the pan. This way you avoid breaking or deforming it during extraction.

2. Use a knife

Gently pass a knife around the edges of the pan to detach the cake from the walls. Make sure not to cut too deeply, otherwise you risk damaging the surface of the cake.

3. Open the springform pan

If you have a springform pan, open it carefully and gently lift the cake from the base. If you have a traditional pan, place a plate on top of the pan and slowly flip it over to drop the cake onto the plate.

4. Remove the base of the cake tin

If you are using a springform pan, remove the base by carefully levering it off the side hooks. Alternatively, you can leave the base in place and slide the cake onto a serving plate.

• Always handle the cake with care to avoid damaging it.
• If the cake seems stuck to the base of the tin, try gently shaking the tin to loosen it.

By following these simple tips, you will be able to easily remove your cake from the tin without ruining it. Enjoy your meal!
