375g canola oil. (can i use corn oil?)

1. 1 1/2 cups raw golden sugar ( how many gram sugar)
2. 2 cups plain flour ***( also same how many gram?
3. 1 cup Dutch cocoa powder same question also.

 

[priscilla]

Yes, you can use corn oil.

I do not have a weighting scale with me, so I just used the measuring cup for dry stuff, like sugar, flour, etc.

Think you can search around for a conversion table online.

I got it from Aunt Yochana, it is very good. The recipe was modified to suit my family's not so sweet tooth.

Is the 375g canola oil cooking oil or butter spread? I m confused over tis as the method for making cake states
- .... Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted,off fire and keep warm.

Is tis butter referring to 375g canola oil?

Sorry wat is the diff b/w baking powder n baking soda?

Can I replace Dutch coco powder wif Milo?

Sorry for the confusion, I replace all the butter by canola oil.

Dutch coco powder should not be replace with Milo.

Baking powder and baking soda are different, read about it here : What's the Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder?

The above recipe ingredients were tailored to meet my family's needs as we do not want too much fat and canola oil was used as it is not as fattening as butter.

I did not keep the old recipe. I used totally oil since it is less fattening. Well, You should be able to get Dutch Coco Powder from any supermarket baking section.

Hi Priscilla
I asked my hubby to get cocoa powder 4 me fm supermkt. He can't find n bot Hershey's goodnight kisses milk chocolate. ancing_tongue: My son loves to eat the choc coating

When turning over the cake, the bottom part sticks to the pan tho I greased the pan. Any advice?

Oso the choc coating I made is in v gluey form (totally cold) not the solid form shown in your pic. So the coating on the cake turned out like vocanno lava :embarrassed: Any advice?

Hi all , I've found this recipe long, long ago and have been wanting to try it out. Finally, i tried it out yesterday. It was NICE! I feel proud of myself that it turn out so yummy on my 1st attempt. I used butter instead of canola oil because i feel cake should have a buttery taste. Will improvise on this recipe on my next try.
