Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For cakes with a moist
topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around
the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet
cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting
time if necessary.
Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid if necessary.
The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly.
Reduce the temperature and add more liquid when braising if necessary.
Keep cooking times as short as possible.
