  Did you know that
  For perfect cooking, before removing the pan from the oven, make sure that the cake is also dry inside. To do this, it is advisable to insert a wooden stick into the heart of the cake: if, once removed, it is dry , it means that the cake is cooked to perfection. If, on the other hand, traces of dough remain in the stick, the cooking time will have to be extended: in this case, it is advisable to lower the oven temperature by 20 degrees to prevent the cake from burning externally. .

  8. Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool and serve.
