Hi Peng,
The bottom of the cake looks abit dense, is this cake supposed to be like that like the magic cake?

Peng said...

Eunice Wong, no not anything similar to the magic cake. It looks dense but texture taste ok, I suspect the corn flour added resulted that dense appearance. Will update again if I reattempt again omitting the corn flour ;)
