Aaarrrggh.... Last night I was making a cake and ran into a question...

Can you re-cook a cake??

I did the toothpick test and it was ok and the edges were browned so I pulled them out to cool. I know there is some extra cooking time during cool down and thought they were ok.

Well when I was leveling the layers they didn't seem 100% done. And after a taste test it is a tiny bit under cooked.

Should I have put totally cooled down cake back in the oven?

Please share your opinions and experiences! I don't want this to happen again. Thank you!! Trish

You can't recook once it's cooled, it won't do it evenly.
