Hi, I tried this cake with the exact measurements you gave. I kept the cake in the oven for 30 minutes and yet it was undercooked in the middle and very very greasy. is that how it should be or have I done something wrong in the method or the proportions?
Hi, The sooji banana cake has some moisture unlike other cakes. But it should be fully cooked. Check out these pointers.
1. Did you give some idle time for the cake mixture to set before baking?
2. also, the final mix should be in pouring consistency. Adjust with milk if needed.
3. if The temperature is too high, the middle part will not get cooked.
