Title: Cake tin advice please
Post by: mrs bouquet on February 11, 2017, 15:01

As the weather is so bad today, I decided to make a 'Raspberry Bakewell Cake'  (not pastry).
I dragged out my old cake tin, and noticed that the loose base is dimpled and not flat,  Is there an advantage to this finish, if so what is it.   I am waiting for the cake to cool, looks and smells delicious, trouble is there is only me, which means I shall probably eat  it all.  :lol:  Thanks, Mrs Bouquet

Mrs C says its to give a bigger surface area so it is hotter than a flat surface.

Sorry I've no idea. But I do know a lot about eating cake! ( Subtle hint ). 😄

Thanks, yes I can understand that, I have never considered it before.
Anyway, its all finished, dredged with icing sugar, and I have just eaten a slice with natural yoghurt, its absolutely scrummy.  You could eat it with custard or cream of crème fraiche, or just eat it !!  regards, Mrs Bouquet
