The Famous Toothpick Test

Relax, you don’t have to study for this. The toothpick test is a simple way of finding out whether the cake you’re baking is ready to come out of the oven. Here’s what you do.

Open the oven door, and without removing the pan from the rack, take a clean toothpick and stick it into the cake, bread or muffin, as close to the middle as possible. If what you’re baking is done, the toothpick will be come out clean, with no batter clinging to it. If the toothpick is coated with batter, the cake (or whatever it is) needs to bake a bit longer. Slide the pan back into the oven and give it another five minutes, then test again. Repeat until your whatchamacallit passes the test.
