My new Faber 40L oven
Hubby said I was too agree and guess what, he is right! My oven is too big and has taken a huge space on my limited space table top, leaving no more space for other pots.
I still could not get use to my new oven. Our first baking project was the Mickey Mouse Butter Cookies. Although they are a little bit dark, they still turns out very nice and extremely tasty!
On the second day, I did some cupcakes using a butter cake recipe. Some big mistakes:
1. placing my tray at the bottom rack. Since they were placed too near to the heating rod, bottom part of my cupcakes got burn!
2. I could not estimate the heat and time for baking cupcakes. I preheat my oven for 15mins at 180C degree. I think my oven was too hot.
3. The mixture was not beaten long enough.*sigh…boys crying so I got to feed them*. The texture of my cupcakes are too coarse.
4. I think the mixture collapsed. It was left too long since I had to feed another boy. The cakes were very dry. The cupcakes taste more like cookies instead of cake!
wow..they look delicious. i don’t know how you got the time to bake these lovely cookies & cupcakes. you could get one of those kitchen trolley from ikea to put your oven
hi,
we are using same oven, 180C too high, i use 175C to bake cake and cookies. different oven different temp.

aiyoh… 15 mins too long lioa! 5 mins should be more than enough as it is an electric oven.
To beat the batter, use a mixer on medium for about 5 mins and hight for 1 to 2 mins and stop when you see the batter turned whitish and the amount rose to be doubled.
And most important, never bake cupcakes more than 25 mins!!! And bake only around 160-175 degree.
