add vanilla and more flour, it makes it a lot softer. mine turned out flat, but soft and delicious.

can u tell me why my genoise turned out so hard.. flat.. and i couldnt even cut it with my knife?

[frcombi]

did you use a bain marie?

[LittoBUbbo]

yes i did

[frcombi]

what's the difference between a bain marie and putting a mixing bowl into a pot of hot water? That's what I did and the cake came out flat.

welll... maybe u let the mixing bowl touch the hot water.. bain marie.. is like not touching the water... maybe the over heating over cooked your batter before you baked it.. =o iono hope it helps. bain marie.. i just do same thing you do.. but i never let it touch the water..
