Hi,
What is molasses sugar? Can the demarara sugar and molasses sugar be replace with brown sugar? Pls advice. Thanks.
Hi,
Molasses is a soft, moist & fine grain sugar. Its the darkest of all sugar. Yes, you can replace both sugar with brown sugar.
Happy baking...

Hi
I've tried yr rich walnut cake. texture is nice but the cake does not have the height like yours.
I use a 8" round tin but it turned out low, abt 2 1/2 ".
may I know why goes wrong?
thks for yr precious advice.

Hi Esther,
If texture is good, so is not compact right? Then you should have done it right.
Did you use large eggs? Butter must be chilled straight out from the fridge. I think overfolding, the cake will shrink too.
Hi Wen, reading from your reply, does it mean we have to use 4 large eggs for this recipe? Thanks. Emily
Yes preferably egg that weigh 63-65 g with shell. Happy Baking!
