The symmetrical development of the batter during baking is an important characteristic in cakes; in this case, a peak was expected in the center of the cake, due to the rise that occurs during baking. Thus, symmetry index values should be greater than zero, indi- cating a higher center than its extremities (Almeida, Marangoni, & Steel, 2013). All cakes presented positive symmetry indices. How- ever, we obtained higher values than reported in the literature, and also greater variations for cakes produced with CMG, which could be caused by more viscous batters.
