Caked for 5 minutes.

Pie with muffin tower

What a birthday cake: make a chocolate cake and layer a four-tiered pyramid of muffins on top.

Extra kick for apple pie

Apple cake can give you a particularly sweet glaze: Spread the cake about 3 minutes before the end of the baking time with melted butter and sprinkle brown sugar over it. Then finish baking.

Repair cake bottom

If the bottom of the cake breaks when loosened from the mold, smear the breakage with egg whites and then gently squeeze again.

Decorate meringue

Sugar sweet surprise: Dust meringues with icing sugar after 15 minutes baking time, the ready-baked meringues have golden yellow globules of molten sugar on the surface.

Bundt cake with almond topping

Decorate your Gugelhupf with an almond crown. Put whole almonds in the buttered dish, pour in the dough and bake the cake as usual.

Use dough pieces

Form the burnt dough into mini balls and bake on the baking tray. Nice to decorate pies or as a soup insert.

Yeast sample

Put a small piece of fresh yeast in a drinking glass of hot water. If it rises, the yeast has enough driving power and can be used.

Bake biscuit

If possible, bake the biscuit for a multi-layered cake the day before. Reason: After a long period of rest, it is much easier to cut the ground.

Making caramel

This is how tasty caramel no longer burns: Pull the pan off the hob immediately as soon as the sugar has melted.

Juicy chocolate cake

Chocolate cake lingers longer, stirring a dash of sour cherry juice under the dough.
