I have sent it out to some of you on request by mail. However, since I don’t use it so often I tend to have to search it among my papers every time some one send me a request.
I have again two request for eggless cake so I decided that I’d share it with you on my blog. I do not have any pictures of this right now… It’s a fairly simple and quick recipe.

Thanku very much for the yum recipe. It turned out very well, apart from sone issues like extreme bottom middle layer waa nkt cooked properly. Although the toothpick came out clean, but there was this one layer which was not cooked. I had used preheated oven at 170 degree for 20m and had baked the cake at 180 degree for 35m , any idea where could go wrong?
Richa are you using the right setting for the oven? Are you placing the cake in the middle of the oven? If the oven is small perhaps place the cake on the lower shelf next time and see if it helps.
Hi Veena, First of all big thanks for this amazing recipe. It turned out very yum. But I just faced one issue, extremely lower middle portion was slightly uncooked, rest of the whole cake was properly cooked. I had preheated at 170 degree for 20m, and had baked the cake for 35 m at 180 degree. Any idea where did I go wrong?
Sounds like you might have just taken it out a minute or two earlier Richa. Happens sometimes. If it happens again then you can try troubleshooting. Sounds like it just needed a minute or two more.
