KOMPAS.com – Making cakes requires precision, especially to ensure the final result is perfect.
One common problem that is often encountered is the bottom of the cake being wet or damp, which makes the texture of the cake less delicious.
Moisture at the bottom of the cake often occurs due to improper cooling or choosing an inappropriate baking pan.

However, with a few simple tips, you can prevent this and get a cake with the perfect texture.
No need to worry if you have experienced this problem before. This time, Kompas.com will discuss easy steps to ensure the cake remains dry and soft from base to surface, as reported on the page The Spruce Eats.
1. Use the Right Baking Pan
Choosing a baking pan is an important key to perfect cake results. Choose a baking pan made of quality material, such as thick aluminum, to ensure the heat is distributed evenly.
A pan that is too thin can cause uneven heat, resulting in the bottom of the cake becoming damp.
2. Grease the baking pan properly
Before pouring the dough, make sure the pan is evenly greased with butter or shortening.
Sprinkle with a little flour afterwards to prevent the cake from sticking. Don’t forget to shake off any excess flour to keep the coating thin and not affect the taste.

Lining the pan with parchment paper or silicone can help reduce the risk of moisture in the bottom. Apart from that, this method makes it easier for you to remove the cake from the pan after it is cooked.
4. Let the Cake Cool Properly
The cooling process also has a big influence on the final cake result. Place the freshly baked cake on a wire rack so that air can circulate well. This prevents moisture from getting trapped at the bottom of the cake.
5. Avoid cooling in the pan for too long
Don’t let the cake cool too long in the pan. Move the cake immediately after 10-15 minutes so that heat doesn’t build up at the bottom and cause moisture.
