  16. Anonymous- You have to fold in the yolks and the sugar AFTER stiff peaks form (egg white).

  20. Hi Bindiya,

    The cake looks too good. I have a question..can i make the frosting with fresh cream without using electric beater..bcoz i dont have one..can i use a mixer for it or a wire whisk will do..pls answer soon..

    ReplyDelete
  21. Anonymous- Yes ,you can make the icing using fresh cream, but not in a mixer, with a wire whisk, put the bowl over ice and beat well whilst adding icing sugar gradually.
