Bake for 2 hours,45 minutes, or less (depending on how your oven works) before attempting to open the oven door to check the cake.

Do not open the oven door else you will interrupt the baking process, the cake will stop rising and it will become hard after baking.

Keep checking the cake and only open the oven door when you realize that the cake is no longer rising,remember that all ovens are not the same,so you should take caution.


After an estimated time of about 2 hours,or less or even more in some cases,check if the cake is done and no longer rising.

Perform the knife test by driving a knife into the center of the cake. If the knife comes out with smears of the cake mix, then the cake is not done,however If it comes out clean and dry, with only a smear of butter and an oily look,then the cake is done.

Then look at the sides of the floured pan,The cake should be separated from the pan or at least not stuck to the pan.

Let the cake cool down before you start to decorate.
