Avoid leaving the cake batter out too long as the baking powder/soda will lose its rising agent after mixing with liquid, this will result the cake from rising properly.Penghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900632173458021061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640936614758212364.post-34789438902745433542014-04-03T21:03:45.508+08:002014-04-03T21:03:45.508+08:00Hi Peng

I ...Hi Peng, your cake looks so lovely and yummy. I just tried cake and fudge today. And here are my problems.<br /><br />Cake : Soo relieved that it did not turn out to be kueh texture. Phew! Cake is moist but dense. Didn't really rise much. I did not have baking soda so I substituted with baking powder. Can that be the problem? Or did I over mix the batter? I have problems with the batter cos it was very lumpy. How do you stir till smooth? Is there a method to make this process easier? for eg... like pour liquid bit by bit? <br /><br />Fudge : like many others, mine was liquid and lumpy. Cooked more than 10mins and I even added more corn flour but still no use. Rested awhile already... slightly thicker but still liquid. Again, I had problems mixing it till smooth, so I merely put it in x2 boiling thinking that heat will ease the consistency.<br /><br />Any advice from you would be appreciate. thanks !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640936614758212364.post-28025782904232545352012-01-09T16:06:09.589+08:002012-01-09T16:06:09.589+08:00Hi,
