Ok first attempt at baking a cake today.
I put it in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 degrees (gas mark 5)
instead of 30 min stated in the reciepe, i used a 24cm round tin, when i took it out i should have knifed the middle before i took it out i know but i thought it had been in long enough at 40 minutes considering it states only 30 minutes to cook it.
The outside was cooked and was solid and i did not want a dry cake, yet when i turned it out it collasped to a sloppy mess as the middle was not cooked and it looked like it could have done with at least another 20 minutes!?!
What did i do wrong, the mixture was fairly solid
before i put it into the cake tin, it was not runny or
anything, in fact i had to scoop most of it into the
tin out of the bowl as it was not runny?
Do i need to bake it longer than the 30 minutes thought at the same time i want to avoid a dry cake?
Or is it because i am a male :-)
