Hi i love all you recipes and the best is the butter cakes. absolutely awesome.
But you chocolate cake does not come out right for me. It comes out fudgy and dense.
Should that be the way? Some places the cake looks dense and some places very fudgy.
If left outside the cake get moulded in 3 days . I think i am doing it right. I love your chocolate cake recipe but cannot understand why its turns out this way. Most recipes is calling for oil basis but i like using butter. I have done this recipe almost 4-5 times but still turn out this way.
any advise??

Hi, the butter 250g weight is different from Little Teochew’s 225g.
Should it be a typing error?
