Can I Put My Cooled Cake Back In The Oven?
Decorating By batter_up Updated 13 May 2009 , 7:51pm by batter_up
Small/Big? problem. After I cooled one of my layers of pink champagne cake I cut the top off to level it and it appears that parts of it are not cooked thoroughly.
Has anyone ever put their cake back into the oven at this point and if so, how did it turn out?
Hope I can get an anwswer pretty quick...it is sitting out on my counter as I write this 
I doubt you'll be happy with the results, because if you put it back in, the entire cake will have to heat through before the heat penetrates to the center to finish baking that portion. In the meantime, the outer portion that is already done will overcook and become very dry. If it can't be salvaged as-is, then I would rebake.
I'd say put it back in and see what happens. If it has been in the fridge it hasn't spoiled. what is you other choice? Throw it away?
go for it
Thank you for all your very quick replies. I decided to scoop out the top area about 1/2" and left a lip around the edge. I am going to use it as the top layer and put some bavarian cream inside of that. There will also be Bavarian cream between layers.
I have never made this cake before and I am wondering since it had so much champagne in it (2 Cups) if it is supposed to be more dense, like a rum cake or some kind of liquor cake....anyone know? I'll post it in a new topic if no one knows.
Thank you all!
