But this cake batter, a pound cake batter, was so dense that the inside would not cook through. I over did it on the density. The toothpick in the cake was useless, came out clean after 50 mins, but when I chopped the overhang off one little house, I could see the dense underbake. So back into the oven they all went, and I kept doing that. 20 mins at a time, then chopping off the next house’s overhang, then seeing the underbake, then popping them back in. Ugh, this went on many times.
But they all came right out with perfect detail each time. I sacrificed one, chopped it in half, and saw the under-baked belly. And stuffed the rest back into the oven.
I love the tray, and I have more of the dense cake batter to try again with, but I’d like something less dense that would cook through better. The fault is entirely mine, densing it up so much.
