Tips & Hints:

To test if a cake is cooked, apply gentle pressure to the centre of the cake using your fingertips. If the cake springs back, it is cooked. If it remains soft it will need longer. A cooked cake will also begin to come away from the sides of the pan. All ingredients (including milk and eggs) must be at room temperature when making this cake.
