Tips

  • When whisking eggs, they should triple in volume and turn a nice yellow-pale color.
  • Perform the toothpick test to check if the cake is cooked through.
  • Cover the cake with foil if the outside is cooking faster than the inside.
  • Ensure cornflakes are fully covered with melted chocolate for full flavor.
  • When mixing dry ingredients into batter, fold them in instead of whisking.
