If it is a solid-bottomed mold, you can also place it directly in the baking pan. The heat in my oven is on the high side. The upper heat is 150, and the lower heat is 150. Bake at 160 degrees for one hour. The specific temperature and time will depend on your oven conditions.Step 15

Cotton cake cooking tipsAfter coming out of the oven, drop the mold twice and turn it upside down immediately, let it cool completely before demoulding to prevent shrinkage. If it still collapses after doing this, it must be unfamiliar and needs to be extended. Regarding the problem of cracking, it may be caused by the close proximity to the ignition point or the high ignition temperature. If you want to avoid it, you have to lower the temperature. If you lower the temperature, you have to extend the time to bake it. If you don’t know how to observe the changing state of doneness, Then insert a toothpick into the lower part of the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean and does not stick to the wet cake, it is done. If you want it to be cooked without cracking, novices still have to try it slowly, observe and explore more. There is no problem with the recipe. Each oven has a different temperature. The temperature should be determined according to your own oven.
