Tips
1. Check your cake 5 minutes before times up.Insert a stick, if the stick is
not sticky, the cake is ready. If it is sticky, add another 5- 8 minutes.
2. The oven temperature may differ from one brand to another.I used gas oven.
Adjust your oven temperature.
3. Do not OVERBAKE. Your cake will be dry and bitter.
Happy Caking!
