Cooling Temperature of Cakes

After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to prevent cracking. Then remove the cake from the pan and place it on a cooling rack with air circulating underneath to prevent a moist bottom. Allow the cake to cool completely for 1 hour before frosting and storing. Proper cooling is important for cake structure and appearance.

COOLING TEMPERATURE OF CAKES

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET you must be able to
cool cakes.

COOLING A cake is allowed to cool 10 – 15 minutes in its pan set on a cooling rack after
taking it out of the oven. This helps prevent the cake from cracking or breaking when it is
removed from its pan.

When the cake is done, place it right side up on a cooling rack. This allows the air
to circular beneath the cake preventing a moist bottom. To remove the cake from the pan,
loosen the edge with a knife or spatula. Then insert it on a rack or plate and allow the
cake to cool for an hour before attempting to remove it form the pan. Butter cakes can be
removed after 10 minutes. When cool, it can be frosted and stored in a bread box until
served. A fruit cake should be wrapped in a waxed paper and a towel to be stored. The
cutting of a cake has much do with the appearance and a sharp knife and steady hand
are recommended.

STEPS OF COOLING CAKES

Step 1 Bake the cake. Using the times and temperatures laid out in the recipe. Bake the
cake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out free of batter.

Step 2 Cool in the pan. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool, while
still in the pan, for 10 minutes.

Step 3 Remove the cake. Using a cooling rack laid on top of the open side of the pan, flip
the pan and rack over at the same time so the pan is now facing downward and the rack
catches the cake. You could also use a plate in place of the cooling rack, which makes
decorating easier since the cake is already on the plate on which it will be served. Note
that the cake may not slip out on its own.

Step 4 Lift pan carefully. Once the rack is safely setting on the counter, gently lift off the
pan to reveal the baked cake. Allow the cake to cool on the rack for one hour before icing.
