Aoa!! I tried bounty cake n it turned out tasty but my cake get pretty hard n it get baked in 65mins completlely. The batter was pretty dense n it wasn’t spreading on its own in the pan, I need to spread it with spatula, other problem was that cake stArted to crack up but toothpick was not coming out clean :s help me ou, I wanna try again but not with hard cake in the end.
W/Salaam, please check the temperature of your oven, and did you remember to preheat?
salam,can i use sods bcarbonate insted of baking powder
W/Salaam, no you cannot substitute the two and get the right results.
I pre heated well n I have regular gas oven, rest of stuffs come out perfect, I m having feeling that my batter was dense so it get hArd :s
I see, next time try adding a bit of milk just to loosen the batter a little bit. It will help keep the cake soft and moist too.
Sure will do that, I was thinking to add aftering having pretty dense batter but was confused as its not stated in receptive ne ways thank dear:)

W/Salaam, hmmm am not sure why the cake stuck, did you grease and line the cake pan?

I am confused as how did that happen? and yes i did grease the Tefal baking pan with a lil bit of oil as i usually do.
Pls Help
Try greasing then dusting the pan with a bit of flour before adding the batter. 🙂
Thanx for da delicious recipe. Just want to know which oven is better for baking.electrical or gas??
For me, electric ovens are best, I find there is more control with the heating than gas ovens. But I guess that is a matter of personal opinion, I know that there are people who prefer gas ovens. 🙂
Thank u:)
Can u do me a favor? Be kind enough to recommend some specific electric oven brand or model. Somebody told me i should get a two rod one instead of one rod.
Hard to give brands as different countries have different qualities. Some good brands are LG or Bosht.
Assalamualaykum.This is a difficult request but i thought I would ask anyway. I sit possible to know the calorie count?If not, fine and thanks for amazing recipe
W/Salaam, unfortunately I have no idea about calorie counting. Sorry dear and thanks! 🙂

One question which oven rack do you use , middle or top?
Always use the middle for baking.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR PAGE!DO YOU HAVE YOUR COOK BOOK?
Thank you! Sorry no cook book out yet…soon inshaAllah though. 🙂

Beat the egg and divide it.

I never bake in the microwave, sorry.
Salaaam Fauzia..I wud love to bake this for my dad’s b’day..I have a doubt thou..Just concerned whether the bounty filling wud sink into the cake batter and vice versa when the top layer is added..How thick is the cake batter and bounty filling?Thanxxx for any help u cud provide..
W/Salaam, divide the batter in half so you can have an equal amount of cake sandwiching the filling.
