What about when a boxed cake mix comes with two components- one egg white mixture, the other flour mixture? I have encountered this from certain stores. Does the cake still turn out? It is not fluffy going in the oven like a regular cake mix.
I am not sure if it would turn out or not, and yes, I would assume it would be more like a traditional cake vs the same texture of an angel food cake. But I could be wrong.
I'm so sorry this didn't turn out, but it didn't. I followed directions yet when I turned the pan upside down, the cake feel out right on the kitchen counter!
I'm so sorry it didn't turn out too! I'm not sure why it would have fallen out if your pan wasn't greased.
Was not impressed with this cake. Extremely heavy.
Maybe you overbeat the mixture.
This is a very light delicious cake.
Due to the fact there are only two ingredients there isn't much else that could have gone wrong.
