Kimmy, beautiful cake! Looks so soft and there are no cracks. Did you remove from oven immediately or did you let it cool in the oven first?

Hi Phong Hong, I remove immediately from the oven to cool on rack. If you are baking, try leave it in the oven after baking. The base was dry and nice.

Hi Sonia, my whole family loves this cake. Usually must take a slice quick otherwise there's nothing left very soon.

Hi Anonymous, thanks for visiting my blog. Most times I'll use parchment paper for the base and lightly greased the sides of the tin and also sprinkle a little flour over the greased part if baking butter cake. If you are using non stick baking paper, you need not greased it at all.

I made this today. Was quite apprehensive because my first earlier attempt with cheese cake was a complete flop. This was soft, light and yummy. Will definitely be making it again. Thank you.

Hi Kimmy if u remove the cake immediately from the oven, will the cake shrink? Just want to check with u, did u remove immediately from the baking pan?

Hi Annonymous, I lined the loose base pan which I used to bake this cake. After removing from the oven, I placed the pan over a tall mug, the baking pan just slide down easily. Then I removed the base and left the cake to cool on the rack. The cake doesn't shrink.

Hi Kimmy, the original recipe has a baking time of 50mins, your timing is 70mins, is there a mistake? I think the texture is too dry for 70mins...I will try again thanks for sharing!
Regards, Sandy

Hi Sandy, the baking time depends on individual ovens. When I baked for 50 mins. the cake was soggy. With 60-70 mins. [my oven] the cake was soft, moist and firm.

Hi just want to ask if you can share some photos on how do you steam bake. I tried steam bake and the result was the bottom of my cake was wet and also the cake shrink alot. Thanks

Kimmy said...

Hi Anonymous, please look up my posts on cottony cakes. Most of the posts have some photos on steam bake. I used 1 and 1/2 cups water for the water bath. You may have to adjust according to your oven temperature.
