What are three ways to test a cake for doneness?

Answer by  chuckmay (16)

Cake is done when the edges pull away from the pan or when a toothpick inserted comes out dry or when the cake 'sponges' back when it's pushed down.

With a skewer. If the mixture sticks it is not done. By the smell. The smell of freshly baked cakes By the colour. A lovely golden brown.(depending on the type of cake)
