Hi, I was just wondering if my baking pan is 30cm x 30cm, should I double the ingredients?

Happy Flour said...

Hi Michelle,

You don't have to double the recipe.

Or do i have to replace it with the cocoa powder?

Hi Anonymous,

Yes, you can omit chocolate paste.

My cake turn out to be too thin, too much air bubble in it & a sticky surface. But I follow exactly ur recipe. What hv I done wrongly?

Happy Flour said...

Hi Allie,

It seem like your egg batter was not whisk till a stable stage so it has a lot of air bubble and it collapse during baking.

Allie said...

But I hv whisk until very thick (ribbon stage)...
Actually I need to whisk about how long?
