I purchased a Usha Lexus OTG (with a 250C as max temp.) and wanted to try the cake first. Though I followed the steps exactly - I dont know what went wrong. 1) As mentioned I kept the timer for 60mins, but by 20 mins the cake started burning at the bottom. The entire bottom got burnt, 2) I removed it and added the second batch and kept watch since 15 mins. The upper center raised and cracked. I removed it for fear of burning The inner remained soft. It tasted more of egg. and was "white" I mean dint turn brown like the picture.Pls explain what could have gone wrong - I am a newbie in baking.I am sorry if I messed up your recipe.

Then the cake will not stick to the pan. After greasing the pan, you have to line it with butter/parchment paper. Then the cake will not stick to the pan.
