Hello! First post here. I'm trying to troubleshoot what's going wrong with my simple chocolate cake but after about four tries, it's coming out the same.
The top half of the cake is beautiful. Light and airy. The bottom half is a little dense, yet still spongy and a little more moist than the top half. Not like a brownie but it seems like it may not be cooking long enough?
I've tried different temps (until the knife comes out clean) and still happens. My batter is on the liquidy side, a thicker than maple syrup but not too thick.
This is my recipe in case you see something off. I'm also going to try and attach a photo. As you can see toward the perimeter of the cake, it's less soggy. Toward the middle there's more soggyness.
1/4 c white flour
3/4 c whole wheat flour
1/2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
6 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c unrefined sugar (I don't like sweet cakes)
1/2 c applesauce
2 T oil
1 c warm coffee
1/2 c milk
2 eggs
1 t vanilla extract
dash of salt
