Hi, i tried this cake yesterday..It tastes good but it has not become soft at all.It did not rise v.well n seems harder and has a rubbery kind of feeling. I followed the exact procedure.Dnt know wat mst hav gone wrong..I mixed the Eggs and Sugar v.well for a long time but with an Egg whisker as i dint want to use my mixer late evening..Is that the problem..?Or is it because of not using butter/oil at all..?

Hi Parita, I think it may not have been too moist this time because it got slighlty overbaked. I think you can experiment with adding 2-3 tbsps of oil in the sponge, or then try this recipe here (where you can substitute 3 tbsps of flour with cocoa & omit the orange extract). Do mail me at vindee@airtelmail.in if you need anything else. Take care

Hi Deeba, I have tried this recipe couple of times and it has turned out to be great :), one question, the last time i tried the cake didnt come out to be moist little on harder side? also can i incorporate butter in this recipe? do you think this will help the cake to come out moist and soft?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm so longing to dig into moist indian chocolate cake. The ones out here just don't taste the same.
What is the brand of chocolate did you use and the cocoa powder?
your site is just wonderful.

thanks,

Thanks Manggy...loved the Opera cake you posted. Am still dreaming about it!!
Hi Anonymous..I think it must be the cream which is different. Mine didnt whip up too firm to begin with, & got really stiff when I added the cocoa.Basically, after the cocoa is added, you just need to whip for 30 seconds just to incorporate the cocoa. The cream we get in India is not essentially whipping cream, so you need to experiment & see what works best for you. Temperature also plays a major role. Is it very warm where you are?
Thanks Sagari...have a great new year.
And a wonderful new year to you too Kaykat...thanks!
