How To Tent A Cake With Foil
Cut a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 10 cm bigger than your cake pan. Fold the foil in half to make it stronger. Shape it like a tent over the cake. Make sure the foil does not touch the batter. Tuck the edges gently around the pan. Leave small gaps so steam can escape. Lower the oven temperature by 25°F for better baking. Watch the cake closely to avoid burning. This method helps the cake bake evenly and keeps the crust perfect. Tenting with foil stops the top from browning too fast. Many bakers use this trick to get great results every time.
