I made a cherry cake.....!?

Question

I made a cherry cake it looked magnificent! I sliced it and tasted it and it was really soggy, my family liked it though. I got a knife and cut into the middle of the cake and it was not cooked properly. What did i do wrong

Answer 1

You did not bake it long enough.  Always test a cake before you take it out of the oven.  Insert a toothpick in the center - if it comes out clean, the cake is done.  If the sides of the cake looked really done, it could be the oven temperature is off.  Use a thermometer you can put in the oven to test this. Set for 350 degrees & then wait 15-20 min.  If the thermometer in the over says anything different, you know that you have to adjust the heat.  

Answer 2

You didn't bake it long enough, that's all.  Make sure you use a big enough pan as well so that it isn't too deep.

Answer 3

ask a family memeber that ate it because they know excactly what was wrong with it. most likey you need to cook it longgggggerrrrrrrrrrr.

Answer 4

Its ok, just make sure it is cook, next time. i usually put the oven on 350 and every 15min i checks it to see if its ready to come out. i would take a knife and stick it in the center of the cake then pull it out, if the knife comes out clean without pieces of the cake on it, then its cooked but if the knife has moisture on it form the cake, then leave it for a few more minutes.  

Answer 5

Answer 6

Did not cook it long enough. They seem to love it - so let them eat this one.
