You can just shake the tin slightly to check if the cake is loose, and then invert the tin on an wooden board or a steel tray, so that it comes our perfectly moulded.<br /><br />It is a practice to wait until the cake completely cools down because sometimes it gets stuck and there are chances of not getting a perfect mould if we try to force and detach it! <br /><br />My own experience in the past.<br />Rajanikanth Shenoy, Kudpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16537223168024640007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717816.post-24114796843402454662016-08-26T21:01:37.714+05:302016-08-26T21:01:37.714+05:30thanku for responding quickly.

SO, does it cool in the tin <br />for 1hr or unmould and cool? maria .

You may need slightly more time for baking moist cakes.Rajanikanth Shenoy, Kudpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16537223168024640007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717816.post-14670878463626173882016-08-25T22:48:22.403+05:302016-08-25T22:48:22.403+05:30Not at all a nuisance Maria!

I also suspect that moisture content was more in the cake batter. That's why the best and safest method is to insert a toothpick or skewer to find if the inside of the cake is raw or baked.<br /><br />Cooling on the rack requires some time as you can not detach the cake when it is too hot. I am happy that the end results are good. Keep baking and keep trying new recipes. I think once you get a hang of the consistency of cake batter, you can blindly bake the cake without bothering much about the timing. <br /><br />I must add here, that now most of my baking is done without the help of hand mixer. I use basic tools and my own hand to mix the batter!

During all this process, retain the tin inside the oven and don't switch off the oven.<br /><br />Aluminum foil is covered so that the cake doesn't get over-browned. Hope you understand what I mean.Rajanikanth Shenoy, Kudpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16537223168024640007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717816.post-34692078886817651232016-08-24T16:53:30.959+05:302016-08-24T16:53:30.959+05:30hi, thnks for the recipe.

Does it need to cool and cook in the heat<br /> in the tin itself with the timing you have given? I got confused with the<br /> instruction so I unmoulded and then cooled it.<br />maria .
