How do I stop my cake from burning?

If a cake is browning too quickly then it is best to try and shield the top of the cake by laying a piece of foil or baking parchment (parchment paper) over the top of the tin, as this will deflect some of the heat from the oven. Sometimes this is recommended towards the end of the cooking time in a recipe.

How do I stop my cake burning on the outside?

If it's too hot the cake will cook too quickly and burn on top. If your cake is not cooked, but is starting to brown on top, cover it in tin foil or baking parchment. This will make sure the centre continues to cook but the outside doesn't. Keep an eye on it and check it every 5-7 mins until done.
