Hi Shano,
wonderful look and texture. Thanks for sharing.
I dont have a 200 ml cup, only 250ml.
What are the changes need to be made in other ingredients if using 250 mil.
Thanks

Hi Fizza ..
Reduce the temperature..Pre heat with both the rods on.As soon as you keep the batter inside turn off the top rod ..Let it bake with bottom rod on .Use a wooden tooth pick to check if the cake is done ..Now turn on the top rod until the top gets evenly brown .
Hope this helps ..😊

Dear Shano Mam…. I have a lot to learn from You…Today i baked this cake..First of all Crack appeared on cake….in starting it rose perfectly but by time baking was complete it fell down n became flat….Outside had becom brown but inside was not baked.
i had baked on lower rack with both rods on.
My bread n buns come out perfectly at the temp mentioned in exact time.What went wrong here.
