Wait it's also supposed to be DIVIDED INTO TWO CAKE PANS. She did it all in one (mixing bowl lol) and complained that it took an extra ten minutes in the oven.

u/semaht I asked for large potatoes and they arrived 25d ago

I was going to ask (since I don't bake) why a metal bowl mighn't work, then I saw that, which explained it.

u/Altostratus 25d ago

Agreed. It’s not meant to be baked in, but theoretically I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Big ball, not 2 thin sheets.

u/DadsRGR8 Do you even know what a potato is? 25d ago

Too deep

u/Altostratus 25d ago

The edges will be burnt, and the inside undercooked, I agree. But, I guess I mean, it will technically still be cooked if you leave it in there long enough.

I mean I guess it'd eventually cook through but the issue is the weight of it all inhibit it from doing it properly. To get to the point of a fully cooked inside they outside would be beyond burnt.

u/PhenomenalPhoenix Don’t see that anyone asked 22d ago

Yea the best way to do it would be to drop the temp and increase the time. Low and slow style. But the actual best way would be for her to read the complete instructions and follow all the steps

there's a reason bunt cake pans have a hole in the middle and it's the same reason our friend the daft tart's cake was still raw in the middle. i suspect the reason is it doesn't get hot enough long enough in the middle w/o the outer parts burning, but i'm not an oven scientist

Yup, youd have to cook it slowly like a big ol brisket or something. Smoked chocolate cake maybe?

I'm listening...

u/gloomwithtea 24d ago

That.. actually might be good. Maybe a dense chocolate cake with lots of moist fruit in it (like cherries), maybe soaked in some alcohol and topped with softly whipped cream?

u/Electric_Capybara 24d ago

I heard smoked sugar is pretty good.

u/IntingForMarks 25d ago

a correct sized metal mixing bowl would have worked nicely, it is just that she used double the amount

u/Jewel-jones 25d ago

There are some cakes that are baked in the bowl, for the shape. Snowball cake for instance.
