Step by step recipe
Stage 1
To test if your cake is fully cooked, open the oven door, pull the cake toward you and insert a knife vertically in the center until reaching the middle of the cake.
Stage 2 - 1 min.
If when you remove the blade, there is dough on the blade (see photo) then the cake is not yet done.
Stage 3
If the blade is clean after removal, then the cake is done.
