I love vegan cake.
But from the past few days baking has become a disaster.
When I bake the cake, I normally preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius for 4 to 5 mins. Then when I keep the cake , if I continue keeping at 180, the cake burns😣
and if I bring it down to 155 or 160 degree Celsius not sure how ,but the cake kind of becomes hard and gets over baked at the top and remains little unbaked inside.
Please help me on how do I adjust this to ensure that the cake becomes soft,get baked correctly and doesn't burn.
Aarthi
@AnonymousI am not sure, may be it is because of your oven
