I've been baking since I was 13, which is more than 30 years now, I've done all these mistakes at the beginning, yet I cracked how to make a perfect cake when I saw a video about how to make Taiwanese Street cakes 😂 commonly known as Castella cake, and how the baker first heat oil and milk together to a warm but not hot temperatures in the micro, then add the eggs , mix, and then the dry ingredients. I've never had a failed cake since.

@@josephinejoseph8837 Though I'm on keto diet but this is the cake I make for my children: 1/3 cup oil, 1/2 cup sweetner or sugar , half a spoon bicarbonate of soda, 3 eggs, 1/2 glass milk, 1spoon yogurt, vanilla drops or powder, 2 cups white flour: method: mix up the liquids & the yogurt, apart from the eggs, and heat them on medium temperature for 20 seconds in the micro, after that add the eggs sugar & vanilla & mix, then gradually add the sieved flour and mix, put the mix in a greased oven cake tin & bake on 180 for 25 min, and it's done 🙂

Hello, I really need help to choose a good oven just for baking cakes. As my vanilla cake either with oil or butter always sank….it’s happening recently. So can’t figure it out…so I think probably I need a heavy duty oven for my home business…do you have any recommendations…I’m based in Melbourne.

I just started baking cakes for myself and my family. Your channel is really helpful to me. I started with a simple recipe that didn't require an electric hand mixer. The taste of the cakes exceeded my expectations, and everyone complimented me on them. I also like how you indicate the ingredients in different proportions, which is very helpful when I'm making small servings.
