Baking, the combination of art and science, can always bring endless surprises and satisfaction. However, even experienced bakers, will inevitably encounter a headache - cake sticky bottom. The sticky bottom of the cake not only affects the appearance, but also can destroy the taste and structure of the entire baking product. Today, we are going to discuss how to use a cupcake tin and some tips to effectively avoid sticky cake bottoms.

First, choose the right cupcake tin
The material, shape and size of the cupcake tin all affect the baking effect. Usually, a cupcake tin with a non-stick coating is a good helper to avoid sticky bottoms. However, it should be noted that baking for a long time at high temperature may damage the non-stick layer, so regular inspection and replacement are very necessary. In addition, the metal cupcake tin conducts heat well, helping to heat evenly and reducing the possibility of over-baking on the bottom.

2. Preheat the cupcake tin
Make sure the cupcake tin is preheated to the proper temperature before adding the cake batter. This encourages the cake to expand evenly and reduces the risk of over-wetting the bottom, thereby reducing the risk of a sticky bottom. The preheating time should not be too long, so as not to overheat the cupcake tin resulting in instant solidification of the cake batter, but increase the chance of sticking the bottom.

Three, apply anti-stick agent
Use an appropriate amount of butter or vegetable oil evenly spread on the inside of the cupcake tin, can effectively prevent the cake from sticking to the bottom. For cakes that need to be unmoulded, a thin layer of flour or powdered sugar can be sprinkled after the grease is applied to enhance the anti-stick effect. Remember to gently tap the cupcake tin to remove excess flour or icing sugar so as not to affect the appearance of the finished product.

4. Pour the cake batter correctly
When pouring cake batter, avoid pouring too much at one time, resulting in too high cake center and too low edge, affecting heat distribution and increasing the risk of sticky bottom. The cake batter can be poured in several times, gently tapping the cupcake tin to drain the air bubble and ensure the cake batter is evenly distributed.

5. Master baking time and temperature
Adjust the baking time and temperature according to the size and type of cake to avoid over-baking. Too high a temperature will cause the surface of the cake to harden rapidly, and the interior is not fully cooked, easy to cause sticky bottom. It is recommended to use a baking thermometer to ensure that the actual temperature in the oven is the same as the set temperature.

Six, cool and then release the mold
When the cake is out of the oven, don't rush to unmold. Let it cool naturally in the cupcake tin for a few minutes, and then remove the mold after the cake has shrunk slightly, which can greatly reduce the situation of sticky bottom. Use a knife to gently run around the edges of the cupcake tin to help separate the cake from the pan, making it safer and easier.

Seven, clean and maintain the cake plate
After each use, clean the cupcake tin in time to avoid the residual cake batter hardening, affecting the next use. For non-stick coated cupcake tins, avoid using a hard brush or steel ball to clean, so as not to scratch the surface. Proper use of mild detergent, and then thoroughly dry, can extend the service life of the cupcake tin.
