I read somewhere that to dust the pan, once buttering it, using some of the dry cake mixture would be better than plain flour. Helps avoid the white on dark chocolate cake.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that tip.
ReplyDeleteHowever I think the tip applies when preparing from a commercially available cake mixture where u just add water or milk
When baking cake from scratch, I am able to only think of plain flour, Moreover the white will appear only if excess flour has not been removed by tapping the cake pan
Nice blog!
