Peach Yoghurt Cake

Which types of baking pans you all used? Dark non-stick pan or normal white stainless steel /aluminium pan? I have a dark non-stick loaf pan (often used) and a 7" round pan which I seldom used...I realise whenever using the dark pan, the cake will form a thicker crust (especially the base of the cake as seen on the pics below) after prolong baking which I do not like...maybe should get myself another white loaf pan soon ><

  1. I have read that when baking with a dark pan, reduce the temperature by at least another 10C.
    Hope this helps.

  3. Wendy is right. Dark pans absorb more heat, so the temperature in contact with your batter goes up compared to light coloured pans. Most of my pans are dark, and I lower the temperature by 10-20 degC from the original recipe, and it works just fine. Give it a try!
