Tried the butter cake. Came perfect. I did cut down a little sugar and butter and added a full teaspoon vanilla essence. Thanks much.
I am planning to make cake for first time. I am from Kerala. What should be the type of baking pan? I have a convection combi microwave oven. Will it be OK to use it in convection mode with specified temperatures. Can you please provide specific details of baking powder also?
Hi Bincy, Thank you so much for your comment 🙂 I guess my reply comes delayed for you, sorry 🙁 I was away from active blogging and being so caught up with so many things on the domestic front for last couple of months,hence the delay in replying.
Could you please be more specific? Is your oven microwave? normally microwave oven power is measured in watts. To best of my knowledge if it's 650 to 800 watts of power then you need keep it in 70-75% power and also always oven temp varies from oven to oven,so just have to try them out to find out which works with your situation.Hope this helps! Let me know if are still stuck and we could try and find other solutions.
Cheers!
