what is wheat starch? i would love to make this! :)
It is starch made of wheat.
humm! what happened to my comment (in fact my question) about the shape and size of the cake mold?!!!
I think you thought you left the comment, but it was not there. I would expect you to be nicer in your comment! Anyway, the answer to your question is already up there.
Dear Binnur,
I am the one who made the previous comments and I must say that there is a little misunderstanding here.
i apologize if i offended you..but you see..i live in the U.S and here where i live it is not considered rude to say the things i said in my previous comment.
"humm" means i am thinking or wondering about what happened. there is no disrespect in it or anything.
I know that you live in Canada, so, things might be different up there, i don't know..i never lived there.
again, a i am sorry if i offended you in any way. i really didn't mean to. you are nice to everyone there is no reason for me to be rude to a nice person like you!!
as for my lost comment, well, i submitted it in and i got the usual message that says something like.. the comment will be posted after approval. So, maybe there was a tech. issue going on with bloger.com or something.
as for this great cake...i am making it as we speak. It is too late to eat it tonight..but i will eat some tomorrow around lunch time and i might come back with a question or two :) I hope you don't mind.
This is a personal comment..so you don't have to publish it unless you want to :)
thanks a lot dear.
hi binnur.
i made this cake and the result was a great tasting cake. however, it was flat and was kind of dry. I am sure that i did something wrong. I used used unbleached flour. do you think that's the reason behind my not so perfect result?
Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for your kind explanation and sorry for the misunderstanding.
You are always welcome with your questions:)
Hi,
I suggested that you use all purpose flour. If I am satisfied with all the ingredients, then I post my recipe:) Mostly the oven temperature affects the rise of the cake. Long baking time with the low temperature also affects the cake in a negative way. It doesn't rise and becomes dry.
Hi Binnur,
I would like to make this cake but I don't have the laof cake mold, I have the round mold with the hole in the middle (bunt cake mold)so will the amount of ingredients be appropriate to use for the mold that I have??
Thank you!!!
Hi,
The mold you have is a little bit small but give it a try:)
how many people can this cake serve?
i need it for 30 people:)
Hi Elif,
It is Loaf Cake Mold sized cake so you may need 2 cakes for 30 people:)
Hi Binnur.
Anna here! Loving your site! i wish you were my mum so i could learn from u!My gozlemes came out perfect the other nite, and it even got the little eyes(goz)... i was so impressed!
What can i use instead of wheat starch as we do not have it here?
Many thanks.
Anna
Hi Anneline:)
You can use corn starch or rice starch instead of wheat starch.
hi Binnur. when you say "wait for 15 minutes" do you mean we should put the mold back in the oven for 15 minutes? thank you in advance :)
Hi,
I meant to remove the mold from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 15 minutes. Then remove the cake from the mold and leave to cool on the wire rack completely:)
Take care,
