Never put any kind of glass thermometer into scalding liquids; put them in while cold and raise the temperature gradually, or you risk the glass breaking. You don’t have to worry about getting a food-borne illness at this temperature. Raw flour and raw eggs can potentially carry salmonella or E. coli. In addition, it also can be a determining factor if your cake is fully baked or not. Wash your thermometer by hand (few are dishwasher-proof) and always dry thoroughly. Metal probes can be wiped clean with antibacterial wipes.

To take the temperature, place the thermometer in the middle of the cake. However, be sure to not touch the bottom of the pan. For the most accurate reading, it is best to use a digital thermometer. When you notice the edges pulling away from the cake, that can be a good indicator that it is ready. The edges will pull away just slightly from the pan. If they pull away too much, then that can potentially be a sign that it has been overbaked.When baking, a cake temperature is done at between 200-210 degrees Fahrenheit. For denser cakes, the temperature should be between 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit. For lighter cakes, the temperature will be between 205-210 degrees Fahrenheit. However, you do not want your cake to be over 212 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, it will begin to lose moisture which will cause it to dry out. Though this test is good for white or yellow cakes, it doesn’t work for chocolate or dark-colored cakes.
