How to USE an OVEN THERMOMETER for Baking Cakes.
How to use a digital oven thermometer is what today's video is about.
Earlier on in my baking days, I purchased a fabricated Nigerian oven and that's what I use for baking cakes. I had a major challenge with burnt cakes until I bought an oven thermometer and started using it to get the right temperature for my cakes.
So, I would be teaching you how to read and use one.

Thank you so much for this video ma. It was actually made for me because I just got a fabricated oven just last month and I tried baking my butter based vanilla cake in it but it was a mess, these were what happened -it took like 2 hours in the oven and still not done -it looks densed -it got burnt -the middle was not leveled with the rest of the cake I was so not happy, I had to move it to my previous way of baking As you have mentioned I will get a thermometer but my question is won’t the decree increase more than 350F since the oven is still on?

You're most welcome! Okay, that would mean not completely done (all round) right? You can just rotate the pan and give few minutes. This is because from my experience so far, once it's done totally the skewer comes clean no matter what part of the Cake you check.

Idk mam if you would reply or not but I just want to make sure one thing I bought today a thermometer and when I was trying it keeps on increasing like my oven’s 250 something temp shows 180 or lesss Celsius in thermometer so what should I do, how should I set my oven at a certain temp?
@OluchiImoh
Жыл бұрын
Hello, I don't really understand your question but the way I explained it's use in the video is how to go about it. If the temperature is increasing on its own then there is a problem and it needs to be checked.
Another question at what time do you retote your cakes while baking, from experience if I open my oven to retote cakes some times it will make the cakes fail.
@OluchiImoh
10 ай бұрын
I don't rotate at all. I only bring them out when they are done. If you open your oven too early, your cakes will fall, that's the result.
Dies that mean the moment u put the cake batter into the oven at 180 degrees Celsius the the temperature wont rise again ? And how do know if the temperature becomes too hot? If i preheat an oven and it has passed the recommended temperature before finish preparing 5he batter how do i bring it down to say 180 before i bake??
@OluchiImoh
10 ай бұрын
It won't rise again. If it does, then there's a fault that needs to be checked. Your Cake would get baked faster and might get burnt too. You don't start preheating before preparing your batter except it's a very quick recipe that doesn't take time, if not it will be too hot.
Don't the temperature keep rising while the oven is on. Is that OK too for the temperature to read above say 350f after the cake is in the oven

Hi Precious. From Jumia. Yes, preheat to the required temperature and put your cakes in at this point. No, it won't from my experience else it means your cakes would be getting burnt and there's prolly a fault with the oven calibration. However, if this happens, you can reduce the temperature.

You're most welcome. Sounds probably like an oven temperature issue, the heat's not been evenly distributed. Two things you can do here - try using an oven thermometer and always preheat your oven to 350°F before baking or get someone to come check/service the oven. I pray it gets better soon and your cakes come out well.

Hello Antonia, I can't say what could have gone wrong. Sounds like it's your built-in oven at home, am I correct? If it is, just set it to 170°C if that's what you bake with and set the timer and that's all. If fabricated, then don't set to max and see what will happen. If your Cakes are getting burnt, then you might need to call a technician. I hope it's sorted as soon as possible. All the best.
Please after the thermometer reaches it’s required temperature, do u turn the oven off before baking?
