The times given apply to dishes placed in a cold oven.
The temperature and baking time depend on the
consistency and amount of the mixture. This is why
temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with
the lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher
setting the next time, since a lower temperature
allows more even browning.
More information can be found in the Baking tips"
section which follows the tables.
Always place the cake tin in the centre of the wire
rack.
It is best to use dark coloured metal baking tins.
