Hello, there! I just made your cake and wow! It was very light and fluffy. I just substituted the milk with freshly squeezed orange juice to make it dairy free. Only thing is in the video it looks like a bigger cake! Next time to fill an 8" pan I probably will double or triple the recipe. 😉
ReplyDeleteHi just wanted to know baking soda or baking powder is not required..
ReplyDeleteBaking powder?
ReplyDeleteLooks very delicious and spongy. Got all the ingredients for baking this cake. Adding little baking powder, will it spoil the texture? Please clarify.
ReplyDeleteI made this cake...came out very bad as no baking powder or baking soda mentioned.my cake was flat like a chappati dough.wasted all my ingredients n that too in this lockdown period.very disappointed.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wheat cake flour *- 1/2 cup + 3 tbs? It doesn't make any sense. List whole wheat flour and corn flour seperately in grams. List all other ingridients in grams as well.
