I used the same proportion as mentioned above. Curd was also fresh but still it tastes a bit sourish. And batter was a bit thick so I added milk. Should I make any changes in the proportion next time?
Oh. sorry to hear about your cake. I used fresh homemade curd.. Im not sure on what went wrong..
Since a cup is not always a cup, I weighed the quantities (from cups into grams) – maybe this helps, Kaya:
220g Flour
145g Sugar
230g (Soy) Yogurt (makes it vegan too) – think curd is more thick and sour than yogurt…
100g Oil
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
It worked great!
Tried it as a "Guglhupf" (Austrian Bundt Cake) – it was delicious:

Hi, i would like to know what oil you use for making this cake. Because i tried with coconut oil, and it gave an odd smell and taste to the cake. I could'nt eat it at all… Plz help..
