The Cool Down
Cool in the Pan
Let your cake cool in the pan for a bit before turning it out. It’s like letting a hot-headed friend calm down before discussing that awkward moment. Patience, my friend. Cooling in the pan allows the cake to set properly, preventing it from breaking apart. This step ensures a stable cake structure before further handling.
Cooling Rack Magic
Transfer your cake to a cooling rack to cool completely. Air circulation is key here. Think of it as your cake getting a nice breeze after a hot day in the oven. Cooling on a rack prevents sogginess by allowing moisture to escape, giving you a perfectly textured cake. Proper cooling enhances the cake’s final taste and texture.
