Check the edges of the cake, they should slightly pull away from the cake pan. Check the colour – golden brown for lighter cakes, or a shiny matte look for chocolate. The toothpick test – a toothpick or knife should come out clean after inserting into the centre. The internal temperature should be around 98°C/210°F.

How much time does it take to bake a cake in a convection microwave? ›
Convection microwave is great for grilling, baking, roasting, browning and crisping foods. For baking a cake, press the convection button, set temperature to 160 C , set the time for 20 minutes and press 'Start' again. Always remember to take the cake /cookies / bread out from the oven once the baking is done.
The general rule of thumb when baking is “the bigger the pan, the lower the temperature”. You bake a 9” round chocolate cake for about 30-35 minutes at 350° F (175° C). However, if you were putting the same recipe in a 14” pan, you would need to lower the temperature to 325° F (162° C) for 50-55 minutes.
Is an electric oven good for baking cakes? ›
Most professional bakers prefer gas, but specifically for cakes and cookies, electric ovens provide more even and consistent heat (especially convection ovens) with little to no added humidity which is desirable for cake/cookies.
Does it take longer to bake a cake in a convection oven? ›
BUT, because convection ovens are fan assisted, your cakes will bake a lot faster (which has it's own risks), so to prevent cakes from baking too quickly, you want to reduce the baking temperature by about 15-20 degrees C, which is why I recommend using a baking temperature of 160C when using a fan assisted oven.
Do electric ovens bake differently? ›
Consistent Heat Distribution and Even Baking: Electric ovens are renowned for their consistent heat distribution, ensuring that all parts of the oven are evenly heated. This characteristic results in uniform baking, making them ideal for recipes that demand precise temperature control and even cooking.
