Are Silicone Pans Ruining Your Cakes and Breads

You followed the recipe perfectly. You measured your King Arthur flour to the gram, your butter was at the ideal room temperature, and your oven was preheated to a precise 350°F (175°C). Yet, when the timer dings, you pull out a cake that’s… disappointing. It’s pale, a little dense, and the edges are strangely soft, almost gummy. Sound familiar? Before you blame the recipe or your oven, look at the pan. If you’re using silicone, you’ve likely found the culprit.
