Hang the straws near the oven, break one off and insert it into the center of your cake.

If it comes out clean, your cake is done.

Straws are disposable.

Use an instant-read thermometer, it needs to be about 200 degrees F.

I use a table knife. If it's not cooked the slit will heal up, if it is it'll get scoffed so quickly that no one will notice a small slit.
