Dough for the cake should be of medium density,if the dough is too liquid - the cakes after baking will be flat, if it is thick - the baking will be heavy and very quickly stale. The necessary density will be when, when dividing the test, there is no need to pour flour

Approach the dough three times: 1. after dissolving, 2. after mixing, 3. after the dough is distributed into forms
Ferment the dough at a temperature of 30 degrees
Filling the form is necessary half, and in some cases also 2/3
Raise cakes should be in the room temperature, which will be from 30 to 45 degrees
If the dough has risen almost to the edges of the mold - you can put in the oven
Bake should be in the oven, at the bottom of which is placed a container of water. The temperature in the oven is 200 to 240 degrees
After baking, bread is smeared with an egg, which is whipped with a tablespoon of water and butter. Top with a large sugar, breadcrumbs and chopped nuts
The secret of an even high item is a wooden stick (a long match) in the center. And also it's a way to check the cake for readiness: if the pulled out stick (match) is dry - your cake is ready!
The size of the cake affects the durationbaking. The greater the weight of the cake, the longer it is necessary to keep it in the oven, and accordingly, the smaller the weight, the shorter the cooking time. If the baking starts to burn, it is necessary to cover the top with paper
