Color of the Cake?

[sayantanimajumder1982]

Hello Guys,

I have joined the forum to know a few basic things when it comes to baking.
All can now understand that I am a hobby home baker.
I have tried a mishmash of a baking recipe of two different chefs who belong to continents apart.

To be honest the cake turned out to be so good and tasty. Let me tell, that I tried baking a gluten free cake.

To give you a quick account of the ingredients, please note I used the following for my cake;

-FINGER MILLET FLOUR
-BOILED NANDARINS
-VANILLA EXTRACT
-BAKING POWDER
-EGGS
-MILK
-JAGGERY SUGAR

Although my cake turned out to be soft and supple with the right mix of flavours but the colour of the centre of the cake slightly differs from that of its body and the surroundings.
Please let me know if it’s the exactness of the quantity of some of the ingredients or the baking time that goes onto have an effect on the overall colour of the cake.
Thanks in advance for your guidance
Happy baking!
