can anyone tell me why my chocolate cake can't turn out fluffy?
the chocolate cake itself taste great, but it's the texture that fails.
baked butter cake and it turn out all fluffy and good.
but when i bake chocolate cake it always turn out compact and not fluffy.
but i have to ask izit my oven's problem? cuz my oven doesnt have the celcius or degree meter,
only have defrost, , keep warm, slow cook, and fast cook, so i put between slow and fast cook.
followed this recipe, mayb u guys can try it and gv some feedback here. thankz : )
hahaha.. the recipe has nothing wrong. just that your are not using a oven to bake! what you have is microwave oven!! the type you have is only good for reheating food. the type that can bake cake is microwave oven that has 'grill' function.!!! hahahahathe chocolate cake itself taste great, but it's the texture that fails.

and, this recipe is for moist cake, not for sponge cake. if you meant by "fluffy" is like those cake you buy from Kings Bakery (or any cheap bakery), then it's confirmed sponge cake. making sponge cake is completely differrent from moist cake.
fyi, there is nothing wrong with adding boiling water to make up the sufficient 'liquid' in the recipe (since it's a moist cake). if you want a better smooth, moist and flavored cake, instead of using 1 cup of water, you can replace with milk or buttermilk. as long as the final batter still have the same consistency.
still got question, ask! maybe i can help..

but does anyone know where can i find ingredients to make risotto?
any short grain rice can be used to make risotto; cos short grain rice can easily become sticky when cooked.but does anyone know where can i find ingredients to make risotto?

lol, so little also put so much baking powder =.= . reduce it like what curios said.
btw, a good risotto comes from a good stock .
yeah, good stock and good control of temperature. the keypoint is make sure the stock is constantly "heated". not warm, not boiling, but just nice. this is to keep the temperature same as the rice. cos if the stock is colder than the rice, then the rice grain will shrink thus resulting bubbles, means not so smooth consistency also it will take longer to bring back the temperature.. this is the same theory why we always add hot water to soup or anything in cooking.btw, a good risotto comes from a good stock .
