Best Answer

If a cake is cooking only on the top, it may be that the oven is set on "broil" instead of on "bake," or that the bottom element of the oven may be broken. Another possibility is that the cake simply has not baked long enough to be "done" throughout. If the oven is set at too high a temperature, the top of the cake might scorch before the interior is baked. The oven temperature should be tested with an oven thermometer to determine whether the temperature setting is accurate.

Are cupcakes the same as cake?

So far I have found that the difference is that cupcakes are smaller (one portion as opposed to a cake which must be cut into portion sizes, hence piece of cake rather than piece of cupcake), you can't put cream in cupcakes, and a cupcake has a muffin top. Not to mention that cupcakes are iced only on the top whereas cakes are iced on the top and sides. AND the cooking time is different -LuckyNumber07 Says... So you are saying the base of a cupcake and cake are the same. But the frosting on a cupcake is only on the top and on a cake the icing or frosting is on the sides too!! :) Not to mention cupcakes are smaller. Darn!! :) -LuckyNumber07 (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(")


How do you make a cake in cooker?

One cannot bake a cake on a cooking range. Baking is done inside an oven where the food is surrounded on all sides by dry heat that remains at a steady temperature through the entire baking time. Foods prepared on a cooking range are set (in pans) on top of the cooking elements, so that heat comes only from the bottom of the pan. The type of cooking done on a cooking range include boiling, steaming, stewing, poaching, searing and frying.

Can you bake a cake using a grill?

I don't think so as the grill won't be hot enough to bake the cake. It will only burn the top of the cake, and the rest will be uncooked.

How do you make a wet cake?

A "wet cake" as a specific desert is a type of cake from Argentina (Torta Morjada) and other Latin American countries in which a cake is soaked in syrup after cooking. A traditional recipe would call for the cake to be served in a shallow bowl filled with a dulce de leche and/or heavy cream (sometimes with fruit), thereby ensuring the bottom of the cake gets soaked by the syrup and the top remains dry. The cake is then cut and served and additional syrup may be poured on top of the cake as desired. Otherwise, in a general sense, calling a cake wet could indicate that it is undercooked.
