2  Surface absorbs heat while moisture evaporates  What forms a crust  Heat activates the leavening agents causing it to rise.  Too hot crust will form to quickly  Too low leavening agents escape

3  Recipes are developed for certain pans  Substitutions can be made if they have a similar volume  Too deep or shallow can cause similar issues as temperature  Avoid warped pans.  Glass or dark pans retain heat and may cause a thick crust.  Lower the temperature by 10* for dark pans  Lower the temperature by 25* for glass

4  Common directions  Grease and flour  Solid fat (Crisco)  Flour  Spray with cooking spray  Line with paper  Parchment

5  Allow 1” space between pans.  1 pan = center of oven  2 pans = separate racks and diagonal from each other  3-4 pans = stagger so that no one is directly above another  Check for doness about 5 minutes before time is up.

6  Most cakes need to cool partially in the pan  Made with no fat = cooled completely in pan  Use wire cooling racks

7  To remove  Run a spatula along the sides of the pan, if needed, to eliminate sticking points  Place a wire cooling rack over the top  Holding the pan and rack securely with pot holders, flip them upside down  Lift the pan off the cake  Quickly place another wire rack on the bottom of the baked item  Using both hands, grasp both racks without squeezing and flip the racks so it is right side up  Remove the top rack and allow to cool completely

8  Cool thoroughly  Can be kept at room temperature in a sealed container or wrap for up to three days.  Products with frostings need to be refrigerated
