since you bake, do you happen to know why something like a pound cake would have something crunchy? like some sort of grinded eggshells inside it even though it isn't or what i hope it isn't?
hi!! i think if the texture is like grinded eggshells in some bites, it's probably that 😭 i crack my eggs into a separate deli container to check for any shells but sometimes it happens to me too 😭😭 as for crunchy throughout? hmm. it could be too hot + the sugar
crystallized? it cld be the use of castor sugar or a low fat/water content, it cld be the temperature of the oven or you baked it for too long? or maybe you used ap/bread flour instead of cake? i wldn't be too sure cause idk what happened but maybe you can deduce further based on your experience! ive had my fair share of baking fails before so i hope you can try again and succeed! 🫶
