NOTES:

All ingredients are to be measured accurately using a Digital weighing scale or in a cup. Ingredients are to be in room temperature before starting the procedure. Do not open the oven door during the first 20 minutes ,the temperature falls suddenly and cake will not rise properly and may collapse in the centre. Every oven behaves differently so adjust the temperature accordingly.

ENJOY.
