Best tips for PERFECT CAKE
- Do not make assumptions and change the measurements of any ingredients while planning to bake the cake.
- All the ingredients must be taken in the same temperature or at least the ingredients should not vary some in cold and others in room temperature.
- Carrot, by itself is sweet when you grind and add to the cake batter, hence check the sugar level and increase the quantity if required.
- Make sure to keep the cake tin for baking in the center of the oven.
- After baking the cake for first 20 minutes, adjust the time and reduce the temperature when you bake again . If you continuously bake at the same temperature, it may result in a burnt lower surface thereby affecting the taste of the cake. Check the baking process of the cake using a clean knife or a skewer after about 35 minutes.
