Why are my cakes burning on the edges, while remaining uncooked in the centre?
We have all burnt a cake in our baking lifetime and it can be very disappointing to say the least. Don’t worry, here are some tips to help you stay clear of the burns!
-
If you have a regular bake oven (opposed to fan forced), always put your baking items on a shelf as close to the centre of the oven as possible. This will avoid your cake and even other items burning from the bottom of the tin

If your cakes are burning around the edges and not cooking in the centre, there are two things you can try:
• Turn down the temperature and bake for longer
• Use a silicon dish as it transfers heat a lot slower and doesn’t burn the edges
