Hi want to try this cake now...but in the recipe you have mentioned baking soda...and in the notes you mentioned baking powder....so how much baking powder do I use
sorry i did not mention baking powder in the list..its 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda
Lovely cake.. thanks for sharing.
Hi how many grams if 1/3 cup of powdered sugar for this recipe
1/2 cup flour will be 60 grams correct
1/3 around 40-42 gms 1/2 62 approx
Hi how to make the sugar syrup to soak this cake
you can either cook the sugar with water until it dissolves or simply mix sugar and water till its dissolved and use
Why is glaze used? While pouring glaze over fruits wont it mess with the fresh cream?
It adds sheen to the fruits you don't have to pour the glaze it needs to be applied gently with a brush..it doesn't mess up if done properly
Hi can you tell me why does my cake rise too much from one side and get too much eggy smell
It doesn't rise equally from all sides
It's like it bloats from one side
Sift the flour and baking powder together always atleast twice..
If the baking powder is not sifted the cake rises on one side ..
Don't open the oven door before the baking time..the cake will rise and sink later..open only after 30 minutes.
Use gopd quality vanilla essence to avoid eggy smell 1 tsp is enough ..
Actually I follow all the steps you mentioned sifting and even good quality of essence
But I think mixing the egg whites I'd a problem for me
Is it if egg whites are not mixed properly in the flour mixture the problem of cake rising from one side may arise
I never get that step of mixing the egg whites finally right
Help
Yes the egg whites need to be mixed well ..the cake will rise well if its mixed else you will get a flat cake..
You need to add the flour in 3 to 4 additions with the flour to avoid the egg whites to deflate
thanks for this cake recipe <3
