Im confused, she fliped the cake. The bottom is always flat, the top is portion isnt. And at :53 seconds you can see that its not flat. Am I missing something?
Hi there, From my understanding and previous experience, the damp towels or strips that you can buy are used to help flatten the top portion of the baked cake. The dome that you see has reduced significantly by using the damp towels and if the towels were not used then you would see a higher dome. It looks like this baker is demonstrating that by flipping the cake out it will also sit flat rather than lopsided or on a tilt because the baked top portion is essentially flat. Hope this helps 😊 happy baking!
As a baker, from my perspective of the video. She had a bumpy side, which is why she flipped it over. If you don’t want a bumpy side, just trim it using a knife. And go on your process. It is also important to add simple syrup to make your cake even moist and stay moist for a few days.
Hey! Not necessarily, I do because it’s easier to take the pans out of the oven but I didn’t notice a difference as long as you bake on the middle rack ☺️
The water content helps slow the conduction of heat from the oven onto the metal pans so no towels means a burnt crispy edge and so the outside of the cake cook faster than the middle, so the middle starts to rise because of that. Basically. The steam/towels make everything cook at the same time.

When you bake at 165 is that fan forced?
I agree lol looks like it didn’t work..

Omggg! That is so smart. I didn’t wanna buy those cake straps but I do have lots of old towels! Tysm!!
You are so welcome!
How did it work? I want to use old towels.
I want to know how you got your cake so light. I don’t like dark crust on my cakes
Hi! I would recommend using baking strips and reducing the temperature of your oven ☺️
Nice trick. Does this work on rectangular cakes too?
Yes!
@@ButtercutBakery Excellent. That'll help with my little ones b-day cake 😁🤗👌
So helpful tysm 😊
Thank you for watching, Latifa!
Is your oven temp (329F) convection or conventional oven?
Would you recommend the same temperature for an electric stove?? @buttercut Bakery
Niceeeeeee 😁
Thank you!
Adoro
🥰🥰
Towel inside the oven?
Soak in cold water first. It keeps the cooking evenly distributed as the tin gets too hot too quick otherwise.
Brilliant....thank you. I didn't want to buy the stripe...
That would be a good investment! ☺️
Great video! What size and height pans?
I used 6 x 2inch pans 🥰
Do you also need to bake on a cookie sheet? Does that help the bottom not overcook?
Hey! Not necessarily, I do because it’s easier to take the pans out of the oven but I didn’t notice a difference as long as you bake on the middle rack ☺️
What does the wet towels do?
The wet towels prevent the formation of domes, burnt edges, and raw middles ☺️
Why do you add the towels ?
They will help the cake bake more evenly, so no domes, no burnt edges and no raw middle 😊
The water content helps slow the conduction of heat from the oven onto the metal pans so no towels means a burnt crispy edge and so the outside of the cake cook faster than the middle, so the middle starts to rise because of that. Basically. The steam/towels make everything cook at the same time.
@@TheMillionDollarDropoutthank you for explaining, I had this problem of burnt edges
