Anyone can bake a cake following these simple rules. First, decide what kind of cake is desired. Second, locate a quality recipe for that particular cake. Third, assemble all the ingredients listed in the recipe. Fourth, choose the pan type and size that is needed for the cake. Fifth, set the oven to the temperature listed in recipe. The oven will preheat while you are making the cake. Temperature choices can vary for pan types. Be sure to check the instructions carefully.

It is a wise idea to thoroughly read the instructions before starting the cake.Didn’t catch that? This explains it. Place the ingredients in the mixing bowl in the order given in the recipe. Be sure to crack the eggs into a separate bowl before adding to the mixing bowl. Beat the ingredients according to the instructions. A low speed is usually called for to blend the ingredients. A higher speed is used to complete the process. Scrape the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake for the time given in the recipe. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the cake is done. Cool ten minutes before removing from pan.
