Hi,
Tried this at home to give my 11 month old boy. Came out well! Thanks for the healthy recipe.
One question though, there's a specific taste that dominates, I'm guessing it's oil, although I used as per spec. Any idea why?
Kalyani
Thanks for your feedback, not sure which is dominating. You can try storing the cake in the refrigerator and taste it again. if you feel its oil, you can reduce a tbsp next time and see

Hi I loved the cake but the cake was a little goey does that happen?
Kalyani
The cake is moist, but it shouldn't be too gooey, if itis gooey, the cake needs more cooking time. If the cake doesn't cook in the middle, cook it further in the oven for 5 to 10 mins by covering with aluminum foil to prevent any further browning.
