Electric

Most ovens have two electric coils, one at the top and one on the bottom, with the oven tending to be hotter at the top, so for baking a cake you are best to put the tin nearer the bottom of the oven. If you have a fan oven your food will cook quicker than in a standard electric oven: you would normally drop the cooking temperature by 20°C. Our recipes have temperatures for both ovens.
