Iblove cooking. I fucking hate baking. I just don't get it. How can a cake be burnt on the outside and liquid on the inside when I follow every step of the recipe super accurately

The key is that you're usually not following the recipe as accurately as you think.

Also, burnt out & liquid in means too hot. Calibrate your oven so you're actually baking at the temps the recipe calls for!

Buy a $10 oven thermometer and check your oven rack positions, sounds like it’s running way hotter than intended. If you have a convection oven the cook time may need to be adjusted.

Same way a steak can be charcoal outside and raw inside: too hot. You need to preheat your oven to the predetermined temp, which is set to a degree that allows the heat to penetrate all the way to the center slowly.
