The butter would have been ok, but I think the extra leavening caused by the baking soda probably did something funny. Baking is mostly a science first, and art next. Try with a fresh batch of soda, and with 1 large egg, and try again, perhaps it will turn out alright. I hope this helps you to go practice and achieve that perfect chocolate cake you are looking for. Best wishes.</i>evolvingtasteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965307088019704302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23147607.post-13355484077224056232011-05-31T15:35:48.502-07:002011-05-31T15:35:48.502-07:00Thanks Mansi!<i>Thanks Mansi! </i>evolvingtasteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965307088019704302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23147607.post-79634578394372763252011-04-28T21:59:39.161-07:002011-04-28T21:59:39.161-07:00Looks very yummy...have to try it..Looks very yummy...have to try it..Mansi Aminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233614612723442751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23147607.post-4364110456604880182011-02-22T08:32:14.433-08:002011-02-22T08:32:14.433-08:00Hello,
I was so happy to find this recipe online ...Hello,<br /><br />I was so happy to find this recipe online as my one ultimate goal in life is to bake a perfect chocolate cake...and so i just gathered the courage to try this last night ....(FYI -i am an amateur baker)...so if you ask me the final result - this is where i am asking to see if you could help me understand what went wrong...<br /><br />The cake that I baked was little bitter in taste and was dry ,it didn't have the moist texture rather it was brittle...<br /><br />So now for the ingredients i had and what i could have messed up...<br /><br />1.I did not have vegetable oil - so i substituted with butter...<br /><br />2.My baking soda had the date 2008 and so i thought ,i should add little extra as it could have lost its power (!!) and so i added 1 and half teaspoons...<br /><br />3.Added 2 eggs as my eggs were of medium size..<br /><br />4.And also, i preheated the oven and then before i kept the pan inside ,it got preheated twice or thrice ...i know i should not do this...will be careful next time...was the oven very hot ,so it dried up my cake mixture ?<br /><br />And also finally ,the cake had some strong smell of baking powder or soda not sure which one...<br /><br />Please enlighten me here and i wanted to understand my mistakes before i try this same recipe again...<br /><br />Sorry for taking your time and space...<br /><br />Thank you...Justhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07602146898708725081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23147607.post-69846348606045200182010-06-13T14:40:28.832-07:002010-06-13T14:40:28.832-07:00Archana, go for it!
