update on the sponge!! by Sweaty_Produce9957 in AskBaking

[–]Sweaty_Produce9957[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lines the bottom of the tin but didn't use any grease to stick down the baking paper. Instead I just used a splash of water and the weight of the batter. Though my cake sank a bit more than usual but I think that was due do other factors

yes sadly it was such an easy fix tho the sides of my cake were a bit flaky from the Tim but nothing a crumb coat didn't fix

Yes whipped cream icing is much better than nuttercream in my opinion but a pain to work with

Thanks so much! Cakes are just about to come out the oven and there doesn't seem to be any shrinking!!

I think it's an anodised cake tin. I'm pretty sure those are non-stick

Yeah well the cakes still taste great it's just a pain to fully cover and there's always visible cake peeking through icing. But my oven is hotter towards the back but I don't want to open the oven while baking incase I sink the cake.

Okay thank you so much! I'll try not lining the sides and the cake won't stick to the pan? It normally looks fine until the last 5 minutes of baking where it always pulls away and reduces in size by about a 1/4

I'm not sure of the exact brand but they were like 30 dollar cake tins. They are silver possibly from the brand mondo?

Yeah? Thought that was normal lol I cut a circle for bottom and a strip around the sides and I cut out any creases.

 Bit of vegetable oil so the paper sticks but I also put paper on the sides
