      I've been baking since I was 13, which is more than 30 years now, I've done all these mistakes at the beginning, yet I cracked how to make a perfect cake when I saw a video about how to make Taiwanese Street cakes 😂 commonly known as Castella cake, and how the baker first heat oil and milk together to a warm but not hot temperatures in the micro, then add the eggs , mix, and then the dry ingredients. I've never had a failed cake since.

      As my vanilla cake either with oil or butter always sank….it’s happening recently.
      So can’t figure it out…so I think probably I need a heavy duty oven for my home business…do you have any recommendations…I’m based in Melbourne.

    I just started baking cakes for myself and my family. Your channel is really helpful to me. I started with a simple recipe that didn't require an electric hand mixer. The taste of the cakes exceeded my expectations, and everyone complimented me on them. I also like how you indicate the ingredients in different proportions, which is very helpful when I'm making small servings.
