Hi, There was a mistake from our end.. we apologize for it, the quantity of baking powder was more.. We have once again tried the recipe with the rectified measurement.. and cake turned out perfect and not bitter at all.. We would request you to try the recipe once again.. with the rectified measurements and give us your valuable comments..

I made this cake and it turned out perfect..The water sometimes is less depending on the plain flour. One may need to add more water to get a batter of dropping consistency.

1/2 C water was not mentioned in the ingredient list but was mentioned in the method. Further, the consistency of the batter was thick even with the addition of the water. I added 3/4C water and 1/3 C yogurt and managed to get the folding consistency.

As per our standardization we do not put water prop in ingredients and we put only in method. Water quantity will always depend on the quality of the maida, sometimes you may need more sometimes a little less... do give it one more try we are sure you will love the taste, avoid the curds if possible Happy Cooking !!
