How to tell something if is baked

Victoria sponges and most other cakes Pop a skewer into the cake and it should come out clean (ie not with uncooked cake batter on it)

Sponge Cakes When you press gently on the cake it should spring back up and as with most cakes it should start to pull away from the sides of the tin.

Bread Knock on it's underside it should sound hollow. This is the description generally used and it sounds a bit mad but if you want to get a comparable sound knock on a cake of uncut brown soda next time you buy one and you'll get what I mean.

Biscuits and Cookies They should darken a little in colour and get that smell that makes your tummy rumble. Some like their cookies a little soft and thus require a little less time in the oven.
