Mary Berry demonstrates how a cake is ready when it's golden-brown and coming away from the edge of the tin.

emoving a cake from a tin can be a tricky task. Mary Berry shows you how.
-Run a palette or rounded butter knife around the inside edge of the cake tin and carefully turn the cake out onto a cooling rack.
-To remove the cakes without leaving a wire rack mark on the top, put a clean tea towel over the tin, put your hand onto the tea towel and turn the tin upside-down.
