Burn Cake

Burn cake happens when oven temperature or timing goes wrong, leaving a charred crust. Trim the burnt layer or turn the cake into crumbs for trifles.

• Dark crust thickness shows how deeply the cake over-baked.
• Internal moisture level decides if the cake can be salvaged.
• Flavor balance shifts when sugar caramelizes too far.
