What temperature should the cake be baked?

This is an automatically translated article.


Baking temperature always directly affects the quality and deliciousness of the cake. In fact, each type of cake will have a different amount of heat until cooked, so it is difficult for the cook to remember. So at what temperature should we bake cakes with each type?

1. Things to keep in mind when choosing a toaster oven


First, when we want to have delicious baked goods, we need to pay attention to the toaster oven that has all the necessary functions. So how to choose a toaster oven to meet the requirements? Currently, on the market there are many types of ovens with a variety of capacities, functions and prices for users to choose from. However, for those of you who are using it for the first time, you should carefully learn some specific information to make the best choice for the oven you want. An oven that can guarantee quality batches of cakes needs to have the following minimum criteria:
Upper and lower fire are flexibly adjusted independently or used simultaneously during baking Baking temperature easy to align with a knob or push button Oven capacity meets most of the user's purposes

2.Some common baking problems and how to fix them


In the process of using and implementing, you will encounter many difficulties to get a successful batch of cakes. Therefore, the following list will help you point out some of the common difficulties when baking to avoid repeated baking failures that are costly in ingredients and time.

2.1. Problems from the oven


The first is the oven, although the oven has been selected with the best or high quality, it is only a tool and cannot completely replace human control. Therefore, the risk will still occur if you do not know how to use your oven.
The oven temperature is not stable at different positions in contact with the surface of the cake, leading to the cake rising, falling, cracking, even becoming dry Raw cakes Remedy for the above problems:
With all ovens in use, they need to be preheated for 10-15 minutes this is very important because the difference in temperature is closely related to the degree of expansion and the porosity of the cakes. In this case, you need a thermometer to help you accurately align the oven temperature. The baking temperature of the oven needs to be stable and the position of the cake tray should be selected so that the cake receives the heat evenly in the position of the tray. It is best to combine 2 fire modes while baking for even baking. Adjust the time to flip the cake or change the heating surface appropriately so that the cake cooks evenly. Quick action when opening the oven to flip the cake because the temperature difference will cause damage to the cake. causes the oven temperature to drop, resulting in uneven baking

2.2. Problems from baking tools


It is not only the oven and other tools that cause the quality of the cake to be reduced.
If you have a medium capacity oven and choose a large cake pan, it will be difficult to heat the fire evenly due to the difference in the fire contact distance from all sides. The color affects the heat conductivity, so the color of the mold will also affect the heat transfer ability of the furnace. Therefore, if the color of the baking pan is dark, you need to pay attention to reduce the oven temperature to 10 degrees compared to the standard temperature for the cake in the recipe.

2.3. The problem from the cake recipe


Cake recipes are a top concern because there is a lot of information on the internet about this issue but not all will be successful.
The first is the ratio between ingredients such as flour, eggs, yeast... will be the deciding factor for the type of cake that will be created after baking. The process of whipping the ingredients is the same, if not done carefully, the cake will reduce porosity and appear air bubbles, making the final product not smooth and appear many stains that lose the beauty. The cake is shaped by the association of binding proteins that make the cake into a uniform block according to the mold used, so if the heat is not aligned with the ingredients, it will appear burnt and the cake will be dry and not delicious.

3. Temperature and time for each type of cake


Depending on the type of cake recipe, there will also be certain changes. The following is a table of baking temperatures for popular cakes for your reference
Bread: Adjust the oven to 160 - 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 25 - 28 minutes with flipping to cook evenly Cookies: Bake 15 - 20 minutes depending on the density of the number of cakes to bake at a temperature between 170 - 190 degrees C Pizza: pizza oven temperature keep at 220 - 250 degrees for 15-20 minutes Cream puffs: bake within 25 - 30 minutes to adjust the temperature to fluctuate between 190 - 200 degrees C Cake: Baking temperature from 40 to 45 minutes with a temperature of 150 to 160 degrees C

4. Interesting things about baking temperature that you didn't know


Did you find that most basic baked goods use 170 degrees Celsius? So do these temperatures have much of an effect on the finished cake?
The temperature level of 170 degrees Celsius is considered the most suitable temperature for the cake to quickly cook and achieve quality. At the same time, the ingredients also have a boiling point, the melting point, if exceeded, will make the nutritional components lose, affecting the health of the user. Normally, room temperature causes the carbon dioxide to be released from the baking powder, but some types need higher heat for the release to occur. In addition, the melted fat dissolves into the cake and above 60 degrees Celsius, the yeast will be destroyed, reducing the risk of the cake being damaged or having a sour taste.
High temperature when baking will also eliminate dangerous microorganisms that carry disease and help you have delicious food to ensure food safety for the whole family.
When the temperature is raised further, the dried protein creates a freezing reaction, and at the same time, the tiny starch granules expand, causing the adhesion to shape the cake according to the preset mold. The high temperature also causes the sugar ingredients in it to turn golden brown - the color of water cakes after coming out of the oven. Therefore, the temperature level of 170 degrees Celsius was chosen as the common enough temperature for baked goods to be cooked and achieve the highest quality.
Baking at what temperature is not only to cook the cake, but also to ensure the quality of deliciousness, appearance and nutritional content in each cake when finished. Therefore, knowing the process, knowing how to use the time flexibly and aligning the appropriate heat level will make the cake you make both delicious and a food rich in lipids, glucide, starch, etc. provide energy for the body.
