Space silicone baking mold - application and recipe idea

One recipe that is perfect for this baking tin is the soaked orange cake. You will need the following ingredients:

100 g butter

90 g sugar

2 tsp vanilla sugar

2 teaspoons grated orange peel

2 tsp grated lemon zest

1 pinch of salt

1 large egg

100 g flour

1 ½ tbsp cornflour

½ tsp baking powder

60 ml orange juice

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp sugar

50 g powdered sugar

Beat the butter until smooth, then add the sugar, vanilla sugar, orange and lemon zest, salt and egg and mix to a homogeneous dough. Now sift in the flour, cornflour and baking powder and fold in. Brush the tin with a little butter for a particularly tasty crust. Then fill each cavity 2/3 full and bake at 160° (hot air) or 180° (top and bottom heat) for between 20 and 25 minutes. Leave the baked cakes to cool and then remove from the tin. Mix the orange juice well with the lemon juice and sugar. Then pour the liquid over the cakes or brush it on with a brush. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

The finished cakes can now be elegantly decorated. For colorful desserts, you can paint on patterns or lines with different colors of egg white icing. Fun details can be added in the form of sculpted flowers or butterflies made from fondant, flower paste or edible paper. If you prefer something less sweet, chocolate patterns or stripes are a good choice. If you want to keep it simple or have to do it quickly, there is hardly a nicer decoration than a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

What I need to consider when cleaning and caring for silicone molds

Before use, you should place your silicone mold in a warm water bath with a little washing-up liquid. Although this is not necessary, it will contribute to the longevity of your silicone mold. The warm water with washing-up liquid closes the pores of the silicone surface better. This keeps the material flexible for longer and you can enjoy your baking silicone molds for longer. After the silicone mold has been in the water bath for 5-10 minutes, you can now place the mold on a kitchen towel to drain. Try not to rub the baking mold dry with the kitchen towel. Silicone is a very good lint catcher. This means that your silicone mold may become covered in lint if you dry it with the kitchen towel. As soon as the mold is dry, you can use it straight away. Additional greasing is not necessary.

After you have baked delicious cakes or frozen ice cream, you can simply put the silicone mold in the dishwasher. Many baking tins should not be put in the dishwasher as the non-stick coating could be washed off by the detergent solution. This is not the case with silicone. Depending on how often you use the silicone mold, we recommend that you clean your silicone mold 1-2 times a year. To do this, place the silicone mold in the middle of your oven at 200 degrees top/bottom heat for 4 hours. The heat ensures that certain substances in the silicone baking mold volatilize. From time to time, a white layer or white spots may form on the silicone mold. This happens particularly often if you have not used the silicone mold for a long time. Simply place the mold in a water bath with washing-up liquid. This will remove the greasy film from the silicone mold. Thanks to the flexibility of the material, you can fold up silicone molds and store them in a space-saving way. Don't worry! The silicone mold will always return to its original shape, even after folding or bending. Say goodbye to bulky metal baking molds!

Silicone molds are the all-rounders in your kitchen

Baking silicone molds are durable, unbreakable and inexpensive. Silicone molds are perfect alternatives to classic metal baking molds. The best-known baking tins are usually made of aluminum or sheet metal, which are bulky. Metal baking tins take up a lot of space, especially in smaller kitchens. Most metal baking tins must not be put in the dishwasher, as otherwise the non-stick coating can be washed off. With silicone baking tins, such problems are a thing of the past. Silicone baking tins are cold and heat resistant from -40 to 250 degrees. This means that silicone baking molds can be frozen, baked and cleaned in the dishwasher. There are various small silicone molds, but also large silicone baking molds. You can make cake bases, donuts, muffins or cake pops, but also ice cubes, confectionery, mousse or ice cream. Caution: even if the silicone mold seems perfect, silicone still gets hot in the oven. Therefore, always wear oven gloves and allow the silicone mold to cool down well. In contrast to metal baking molds, silicone molds cool down more quickly. This saves you time and you can process your baked goods more quickly. Compared to rubber, silicone is inexpensive and resistant to chemicals and fungi. This makes silicone a very hygienic kitchen aid. Thanks to the surface, all masses can be released or toppled by bending and pulling the mold. Although silicone is splinter and break resistant, it is not resistant to knives or other sharp objects. Therefore, only use plastic or silicone cutlery for this silicone mold.
