Tips
1)While making caramel be careful while pouring warm water,it might splatter
2)To prevent over browning, line the bottom and sides of the pan with foil. If you leave extra foil overlapping the sides, it will be easier to remove the cake.
3)Take care that you only fill half of the baking pan with the blended mix.The cake will raise as you bake.
Congrats,Keep rocking!
