In reply to Trace. Yes, you can test with the tip of a knife or a skewer just as you would with a cake made baking powder for this since it's relatively thin and sweeter it should still work. Typically with yeasted doughs and breads you more test by carefully flipping it over (out of the baking tin) and tapping with your knuckle on the bottom to check it sounds hollow which you can also do with this. The tapping instead of making a hole helps avoid letting any air escape which could lead to it deflating, though that's not really a concern here.

I have never used yeast but would love to make this cake. Could I insert a tip of a knife to check if it is cooked through properly? I assume I could but as never to have worked with yeast, I'm not sure. Just checking thanks
