Cake Hints
Baking
Bake cakes with the oven rack placed in the center of the oven,
unless the recipe states differently. Bake only on one rack.
Cooling
Cakes should be cooled completely on wire racks. Cool round cakes
in their pans 10 minutes, then loosen and remove from pans to wire racks.
Rectangular cakes (often in 13x9-inch baking pans) can be cooled completely in
the pan or cooled 10 minutes in the pan and then removed to a wire rack to cool
completely.
Frosting
Frost cakes when they are completely cooled, or the frosting will
melt or slide off the cake.
