Sumod, where you’ve given grams measurements; shall we use that and where there is cup measurements (eg milk) we just use the cup of 125 ml? I’m asking this because I calculated the ml qty based on the flour and it made the cake very densed. Thnks

Always prefer weight measurement for baking
Hlo sir
M a starter in cake baking. Nd not having OTG m using OTR model is it okay with baking on thae same cake on 1hr ie 55-60 mnt
You need to experiment
hi can we add more sugar, will it affect the texture. i found it very less sweet, though i prefer lighter sweetness in my desserts.
Is these a way to make it eggless?
Serve with ganache topping
You can use more sugar…
Hello sir I tried your pizza from scratch recipe it was a winner. Thank you so much for detail recipe.

Yes
Hi, what is sour cream??
Replace with curd
Hi, what is sour cream?
Use curd

Granulated sugar powdered… as in the recipe
Thank you so much for this awesome recipe !! It turned out melt in mouth yummm 🙂 i added a little more milk (1/4 cup extra ) than your recipe as I felt the batter a bit stiff but other than that it had risen beautifully and tasted heavenly !
Tried this cake and loved it! My kids and guest both enjoyed this cake. It’s moist and not too sweet either.
For those who had a doubt regarding the gms vs the cups. Where gms are mentioned I used the scale to measure the ingredients and where cup was mentioned I used the American measuring cup / spoon etc.
I use 250 ml cup
Thank you so much for this awesome recipe.Can you please let me know how you made the topping?
For making the half quantity should the measurement b taken half for each ingredient mentioned? Or how to go about it ?
Yes
Make this cake today. It was awesome. Spongy. Right amount of chocolate taste. First time making a cake and it was so easy ,to follow your recipe. Thanks sumod.
Does the granulated sugar after powering need to be served?
All items should be at room temp- eggs, butter, curd,milk?
What is meant by large eggs? Some eggs say 70+ ( measurement) but look small 🙁
Can we use this cake to frost and later in between?
How many kgs does it make?
Sorry for the so many Questions..
