2 small, round cake tins on one level should be placed
diagonally on the wire rack.
For 4 small, round cake tins, place 2 diagonally on each wire
rack. Slide in the wire racks one on top another, one on each
level.
Baking tins
It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins. Baking times
are increased when light-coloured baking tins made of thin
metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so
evenly.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and
recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone
baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of
mixture and recipe instructions may differ.
Tables
The tables show the ideal type of heating for the various cakes
and pastries. The temperature and baking time depend on the
amount and consistency of the mixture. This is why temperature
ranges are given in the tables. You should try the lower
temperature first, since a lower temperature allows more even
browning. You can increase the temperature next time if
necessary.
More information can be found in the “Baking tips” section
which follows the tables.
