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
@AnonymousThe settings is on high power

Saumya Agarwal
I used a container of 1 litre maximum qnty..
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.

Used exact measurements and cake turned out just awesome! Old version microwaves don't heat uniformly.
Anonymous
I used square bowl- exact measurements but with ghee. It turned out gooey and fell off the sides. DoNt know what I did wrong
Aarthi
@Anonymousno sure, something must have went wrong with measurements. Try it once more.
Anonymous
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.

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
Aarthi
@Anonymousi am not sure what must have gone wrong..

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,
Ramya
