ReplyDeleteyou are welcome
ReplyDeletePlz clear the measurement of 1+1/2 cup flour
ReplyDeleteThis recipe works wonders, I tried it and best so far in range of wheat cakes.But I have a question the batter is too dense and hard First time I tried it was a heavy cake,but later added almost 1 cup milk to make it free flowing.Without milk my cake mix is not as free flowing as shown in video.Is milk missing from the recipe?
ReplyDeleteAlso I tried replacing butter with one cup of vegetable oil and cake was moist and fluffy as compared to pound cake with butter.
Thanks for this perfect wheat cake recipe!!!
