Hi there Dhanya,
That's a pity, and rather frustrating I am sure. You could double check that you have used the correct measurements of the recipe, and that you prepare the ingredients as per the recipe (mixing the cake batter thoroughly).
Otherwise it sounds like you might not have divided your batter into two cake tins..
Remember this step:
"5. Divide the batter between your two cake tins and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean, or the cake springs back when pressed gently."
I hope that you are able to get it right on the second attempt. Most importantly, don't give up, keep going at it and success will surely follow :)
Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply .I used only one 8 inch tin and exactly half measurements of the recipe .I have been trying to make one perfect cake for pretty long time. Let me try again.
Yes definitely i wont give up :)
Thanks,
Dhanya Sanjay
