    Please suggest how to prepares cakes in pressure cooker. Should we need to place water and over that keep the stand and the bowl?

    You have mentioned that the cake to be preheated at 250 degrees and should be baked for 20 min is this for normal oven or microwave oven. Can you please let me know whether I have to preheat also for microwave and how long to bake the cake. Thanks

    Scherezade Elavia of Mumbai Dear Lady, Today I revisited the page of your recipe "Sponge Cake" and found a number of blogs profusely praising the cake. I am therefore all the more eager to try my hand at it. For that purpose, I had blogged to you on 10/3/2008 10:35 PM, asking the unmentioned temperature unit(Celsius or Fahrenheit), for 250 degrees(250*) that you have mentioned. I hoped to know it by now but did not. Madam, please do the needful so that I shall be spared of the wastage of my food-material arising out of an uncooked or charred preparation. Also, what would happen if the number of eggs is reduced and to what degree? Regards.

    Dear Annie, 'Maida' is the name for ' All purpose flour' in the Indian language Hindi. The same flour, which when mixed with baking soda or baking powder in it, becomes ' self raising flour'. Happy cooking...

    Annie

    I am new to this website and trying to learn, please advise me what is maida in the sponge cake ingredients and I can see there is no flour measurement in the ingredient list or maybe its typing error.
