      @sutapa Purkayasthait is because, you are over filling the cake mould, so the top gets cooked before the bottom is cooked.

      Dont fill the cake tin above 3/4th.
      Try using bigger pans

      @sutapa PurkayasthaYou can use half wheat and half normal flour, and also in my opinion there is no sub for eggs in this cake, because it makes softer, Will share a eggless version soon

      @sutapa Purkayasthamuffin batter will be thicker, cake batter will be little thin.

      pour just half or 3/4 full.

      This cocoa cake recipe is absolutely wonderful! It was easy to follow and turned out perfectly moist and rich in chocolate flavor. I appreciate the step-by-step pictures, which made the process even smoother. I have also made Cocoa Cake
