So please suggest what will work better. using ingredients of this recipe and baking in microwave or should i double the ingredients of the microwave recipe? If we double ingredients of microwave recipe then for how much time will be have to bake the cake? For how much time should i bake it in the microwave if i double the ingredients? Thanks
Aarthi

Can you tell me what cream is that? Is it just Amul fresh cream which has been beaten well? How to get that thickness? I felt my cream will be runny, so cant assemble the cake.
Aarthi
AMul cream cannot be made thick for some reason. I use whipping cream powder or frozen whipping cream
Tharani Rajagopal

Anu Murthy

Shilpa Jakka
Hi aarthi, One quick question, If I bake the cake one day earlier will it be dry for the next day? Let me know how I should go ahead so that the cake stays moist.
Unknown
I made this cake today and it turned out simply awesome! I am amazed at myself 🙂
Thank you for all the tips. The basic chocolate cake was simply superb. As I did not have two same pans, I just baked in one Pyrex bowl, and made the cake 4 inches high, and sliced it horizontally.
If we just follow every step in this recipe and read carefully, it will surely turn out superb!
