      I tried this even after sifting baking soda with flour.
      Baked it in high fr 6 mins
      But still it was little fudge in the bottom and sides
      Moreover the measurement makes it vry sweet
      I tried the exact measurements too.
      Baking comes oly out of experience I guess

      Hi Aarthi,
      Thanks for your post and I tried your gravy recipe and it came out well.
      This is my first baking or caking but it turned out badly.I used same measurements and while cooking the batter came out of container and after cooling it settled in bottom 🙁 and it's kind of paste and dark brown and settled in bottom.
      If there is option to show pic I would have posted it here so you could be able to tell me what went wrong.
      I have Samsung microwave.Can you please help me here.

      Thanks in advance,
