How to not get sucked into drama

[Lord Pmann]

I'm an engineer.

I'm an engineer.

And you can't figure out if the heating coil of an oven is broken?

Lame.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I can design a way to figure out if the coil is broken. But no. I can't figure it out.

Do you know anything about cake baking? Why do my cakes always crack on the top?!

Another thing besides the oven temp is my grandmother told me about running a toothpick or a very thin knife through the middle of the batter about a cm deep across the top. You'll have a small dent in the top of the cake but no crack. Also you can put your pans in a water bath while baking.

The steam in the batter has to go somewhere. Or try baking at a lower temp to retain more of the moisture.

Also you can put your pans in a water bath while baking.

This is how you keep a cheesecake from cracking.

Ohh I will try that also! Thanks tali and tali's grandmother!

LOL You're welcome!
