Wild Blueberry Forest: Skewer Test

Tuesday 5 April 2011

Skewer Test

There are several ways to check if your cake is cooked through the middle, the skewer test is one of them.

Take a long pointed implement, such as a metal skewer, a knife, a wooden skewer or any other suitable equipment that comes to hand. Insert this into the middle your cake. If it comes out clean, then your cake is cooked. If there is sticky cake-goo on it then your cake is still raw in the middle, and should be left for a while longer.

Repeat at suitable intervals until the skewer comes out clean and you are satisfied that your cake is done.

About me

I am a Norwegian living in York, UK, and I’ve always been interested in food; the passion was awakened when as a toddler I was allowed to help out in the kitchen with my parents. As I got older I was allowed to experiment more and more on my own, and I was soon completely hooked.

All the recipes I give here are vegetarian and most of them are also gluten free. As I've grown older I have become more aware of how what I eat impact my body and mind, and so I try to cook reasonably healthy food. I try to avoid too much refined sugar and salt where possible, but I do believe that if sensible food is eaten most days, then one can have an occasional treat now and then. However, treats don’t necessary have to be super bad for you, some times food is both healthy (ish) and delicious.

I try to share successful recipes and some useful cooking tips on these pages, and I hope that some of my enthusiasm can be shared by others. I'd love to hear from you, and you are welcome to leave comments if you'd like.
