Note: When using two shelf positions at the same time (e.g. to bake two plate tarts, full
oven of bread etc.) tins should be interchanged half way through the cooking period.
When baking two trays of scones, small cakes, at the same time, the lower tray may
require to be baked for a few minutes longer than the top tray.
If soft tub margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the
manufacturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to
cakes made with block margarine or butter only.
