- * Indhvidual cake tlns used are of a ?I4 ( I 801731) cup capacity f Iled to 214.
. Be sure to grease tins well and llne with non-stlck baking paper if advised to do
so. Do not over-fill the tins or tlney will spill thelr contents into the oven.-l-his is
not a pretty sight.
-' w AII r'ecipes yleld baby cakes but substitute 'tin sizes are given for cooking as Iarge
-' cakes where appropriateq-l-lming js only given for lit-tle cakes, as thls is a book about
Iittie caltes. Baking tlmes may vary for iarger cakes. As a guide allow 45-60 mlnutes
and start testing at intervals from 45 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out
clcan.
' * A1l cakes were tested in a fan-forced oven. increase Lemperature by l 0OC if using
- 84 conventional oven.
@ AI1 rrleasurements for spoons or cups are for level. Ioosely packed amounts unless
otherwise Stated,
@ AII eggs are smail unless otherwise stated.
u @ As these cakes are smalh they can easlly become dry If overcooked. lt is advisable
to test cakes cacefully towards the end of cooking time as even a few minutes for
a small cake can cause near ruin.
