Hi, I m new to baking. Have made the cake hardly 3 times. First two times it was good i used the normal all purpose flour but the last time alone it was nt good. Side all turned brown but top of the cake did nt turn brown but also the next day its very sticky. This time i hav used unbleached all purpose flour. So what could be the reason for it?

There are several reasons why a cake top becomes sticky - if it was not fully cooled before storing, if the kitchen humidity was high, if the cake was slightly under-baked, or the recipe had too much sugar. Sometimes it takes repeated sleuthing to find the problem source.
