Making a cake with PURE spread....it looks wilbbly!!!....help please!

[princessProudmel]

It has risen LOADS and looks very liquidy under the surface.

Nice colour though.

Will it turn out ok??!! (hopeful)

hmmm i've never had a problem using it. have you stuck a skewer in?

Not yet as it would def not be ready...

I poked the top and it wobbled!!

Ok it's not going well!!

The larger one cracked at the top and you can see that the inside is not cooked atall.

The smaller one seems firmer...

:( It's for ds2's 1st birthday :(

We never have a problem either, did scones with pure and alpro soya milk yesterday and thy turned out lovely

Have you done it in an unusal shaped tin? I had a problem last year when I tried to cook dd1's birthday cake in a bowl (toadstool cake!) Some times you need to turn down the heat and increase baking time to compensate for the volume/ shape of the container

No proper cake tin borrowed from my mum.

The bigger one is quite deep. I'll lower oven temp.

What reciepe did you use

I stick to 6oz fat/ flour/ sugar and 3 eggs (or multiples of depending on size I need cake to be)

And yes when I made a princess dress cake in a christmas pudding bowl the middle was RAW! :(

I use Pure for my baking and had no problems at all with it. What temp is your oven?

I don't know whetehr some baking parchment over the top would help stop it going any darker in colour on top whilst the rest cooks (I know you can do this for christmas cakes etc?)

Good luck that's me out of ideas now I hope your DS has a good birhday!

It's cooking!!!!!

It was on 200 now on 100. I am guessing temps, making it up as I go along.

Didn't have any greaseproof paper...not a very organised cook me!

Mix - 8 oz flour, sugar, pure, 4 eggs. In 2 tins.

SHould be absolutely fine. Your temp was very high. I cook cakes at 170. 100 is ridiculously low.

For that recipe I set the oven at 180 for about 20 mins. If that is any help for future reference.

LOL! I am not very good at this! Yes it prob was, I think I normally do 180. Just turned it down to 100 to carry on cooking the middle, it looks a bit stodgy.

Tbh not bothered about it's looks as it's going to be turned into a cat :)

Thanks Doris :)

cece after 20 mins on 200 it was still very wet inside. I think it was too hot and a big tin. :)

Is that quantity in one big tin or two sandwich tins?

2 tins :)
