Today I am going to show you how to use a cake ring. To close the base of the cake ring we only need baking paper or aluminum foil.
Many confectioners use an open cake ring when baking, because the heat is better distributed in an open round cake mold without a base. The surface of the baked cake in an open cake ring becomes flatter, because the heat is more evenly distributed in the oven. In a springform pan with a base the heat is not evenly distributed. Cake rings can be made of aluminum or stainless steel. To use the cake ring, one side has to be covered with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Procedure to cover one cake ring side with baking paper: first cut off a piece of parchment paper and place the cake ring in the middle of it. Then hold the cake ring with your left hand and fold one corner of the paper towards the ring. Fold the paper so that one part covers the ring and forms a border. Hold the created border with the fingers of your left hand. Keep folding the paper further and turn the cake ring while folding. Finally, fold the end of the paper towards the cake ring and insert an edge behind the formed border. Press the fold so that the edge does not slip out. Finally place the cake ring on a baking sheet.
Procedure to cover one cake ring side with aluminum foil: first cut off a piece of aluminum foil and place the cake ring in the middle of it. Then hold the cake ring with your left hand and fold one corner of the foil towards the ring. Fold the aluminum foil so that one part covers the ring and forms a border. Hold the created border with the fingers of your left hand. Keep folding the foil further and turn the cake ring while folding. Fold the end up to the cake ring. Then press the formed aluminum border firmly against the ring. Finally place the cake ring on a baking sheet.
