  • Tweak: Tracka Altered ingredient amounts:

    I doubled the cake mixture and cooked it double time 30min to the end of cooking time I would cover it lightly with brown paper to stop it from crusting to much, I also only used 1tbs of vanilla essence instead of the 2 as 2 left an after taste. Great receipe

    I made this recipe for my son's class. And it was wonderful. He has severe food allergies and this recipe is both egg and peanut free. I added chocolate chips to the batter. I made cupcakes instead of the cake and I baked them for 22 minutes @ 180 degrees.

    great reviews from my friends who tasted - - even the ones who usually have eggs and dairy! So the weights worked...

    Review: herbal

    Is it just my scale or do the cup measurements not exactly match the weight measurements? I have made according to the weight rather than the cups, about to put it in the oven....so I'll let you know!!
