Tips:
- To achieve the perfect consistency for your cornstarch cake, ensure you measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for the cornstarch and sugar.
- When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing as this can result in a tough cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
- For a smooth and lump-free batter, sift the cornstarch and sugar together before adding them to the wet ingredients.
- If you desire a golden-brown crust on your cake, brush the top with melted butter or milk before baking.
- Inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake is a reliable method to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready; if not, continue baking for a few more minutes.
