hi...
ReplyDeletefirst off, lovely blog and lovely recipes... however, i tried this cake recipe today, in fact its in the oven right now... just needed to ask you a q. is the cake batter supposed to be really stiff? i had a doubt so i added some milk to get it in the usual cake batter consistency. dunno how its gonna turn out but have you missed out an ingredient while posting or is the batter supposed to be stiff and not runny like usual cake batters? thanks in advance and pls dont treat this as a hostile comment. i really do like your blog and highly recommend it to my frens!!!
@Anonymous thank you for trying out our recipe and bringing this to our notice... this recipe worked for us, the batter was the usual semi liquidy.. However when we had situation like yours we usually add 1/4 cup of milk and the cake comes out good.. let us know how your cake turned out...
ReplyDeletethanks for the response you guys... well the cake turned out ok...i made it into cupcakes since i was making it for a friend and wanted to see how it turned out just to be on the safe side...and left it in for 30 mins instead of 40... it was a little over cooked on the outside and had a very crunchy chewy crust and was very very nice. . my 3 year old was pleased with the end result and ate quite a bit so that is a big nod in the right direction and it is definitely going in my list of go to recipes. took a few of the cupcakes for my friend as planned and they liked it too... thanks again!!!
ReplyDeleteYummy Delicious Carrot Cake..
