Tried this cake but the center has gone Ina little. Don’t look like your pic where it Has risen. Do let me know why?
Hi Asha! Too bad this recipe did not come out! Let me tell you that when a cake sinks in the center it is because you open the oven before its time. Sudden changes in temperature can cause these results and the incorrect growth of the cake.
On the other hand, I would like to know if you heated the oven to the indicated temperature a few minutes before baking. It is always important to preheat the oven 10-15 minutes before doing so.
Another cause may be that your oven is not heating to the correct temperature. All the ovens are different and each one has its own skill. One thing that could help you if you have doubts about it, is to buy an internal oven thermometer. They are not expensive and are very useful when baking.
I hope I’ve helped! I love that you write to me! Do it again as many times as you need!
