Hi Aunty Yochona :

can I replace 30ml UHT cream with fresh milk? Will it affect the texture? Your cake is so perfect !

Cheers,
Alice

alice,

yes you can replace the dairy whip cream with evaporated milk.

Lucy, I've just made the Victoria Sandwich Cake. It's so soft, moist & fluffy, just like what Amelia had claimed. I pinched a bit after it was baked & it tasted good, too! Thanks.

Hi Lucy, do you think this recipe will work with the Wilton Wonder Mould? I noticed you have baked tons of wonderful cakes but not many of cakes using such specialised shaped novelty pans. What cake base would you reckon would work best with the Wonder Mould? The leaflet that comes with it say any cake mix. Your opinion or suggestion is much appreciated.

Which wonder mold? I forgot liao... I normally like to use butter cake or madeira cake for bundt pan mould.

Hi Lucy, thanks for the prompt note. It is the Wilton Classic Wonder Mold, the one used to make those dollies/mermaid cakes, with a dome ...

Hi Clarissa,

Do you have a picture of it?

Hi Clarissa,

I have this mould too. Just use any butter cake or madiera cake will do. It's easier to unmould.

Hi Aunty, I have just baked this and I love the cake.

I am just wondering - my cake turned out to be very oily, there's a small pool of bright yellow oil sitting below the cupcake liner. Do you have any experience on this?

Thanks.

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi cookie,

it's the mixing of the butter to the batter problem. Do it portion by portion.

I love this cake too. Very buttery.

Hi AuntyYochana!
I was wondering what 3 nos. eggs were. 'nos' ? that kind of confused me, can you please explain? :D

Thanks,

Jang

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Aphadele

nos. is a short form for numbers.

3 nos. eggs means 3 eggs.
