Hey Aarthi congrats on achieving this milestone! I love microwave baking as it is quick. Surely going to try this… but can u pls tell me the microwave button setting for the top round one (above the minutes setting button)
Aarthi
@AnonymousIt is microwave high mode
Aarthi
@AnonymousYou can add, but wheat flour gives you a heavier and denser cake
Aarthi
@khushiunsalted butter is must, because salted butter can makes things too salty
Aarthi
@Madhuwill share egg cakes soon
Aarthi
@MadhuLemon juice or vinegar acts with baking soda to make a lighter softer cake
Aarthi

Saumya Agarwal

bharti kaushik
Very nice how to decorate it another way
Aarthi
@Saumya AgarwalThat is too big for this capacity, the batter should come half way the bowl
Saumya Agarwal
ok thnks.. it wasnt fluffy also..
Aarthi
@Saumya AgarwalU have to use a small pan. if u use big pan then reduce the cooking time.

@Anonymousno sure, something must have went wrong with measurements. Try it once more.

Maida and sugar quantity in cup is same ... Which is 3/4 , but in grams its different ... Please clarify why is it so ....
Aarthi
@AnonymousYes, because flour weighs less than sugar in grams.

But still it was little fudge in the bottom and sides
Moreover the measurement makes it vry sweet
