That does help. Thank you! At what point would you check the internal temperature? Trying to avoid opening the oven door or taking out the cake unnecessarily.

Hi Michelle! To check if a cake is done, insert a digital food thermometer into the center since the edges bake faster. Thermometers like the Square Dot are best for meats, not cakes, because you can keep the thermometer inserted the entire time its baking. If you left a thermometer in a cake, it’d more than likely result in sinking/collapsed cake when taken out. A digital thermometer won’t leave a big hole, and once frosted, it’ll be unnoticeable. Just be sure to insert it gently and keep it still (don’t wiggle it around) to avoid any tunnels. Hope that helps!
