Notes
- Runny Batter = Moist Cake: Your batter should be runny for a super moist and soft cake. That's the secret sauce!
- Spice it Up (Or Not): The spices are totally up to you. Add more or less according to your taste buds. It's your cake, after all!
- Oil or Melted Butter: You can use oil instead of melted butter. Both work like a charm!
- Mix with Care: Don't go overboard with mixing your batter. Too much mixing can make your cake dense. Just a gentle mix will do.
- Brown Sugar Swap: No brown sugar? No problem! You can easily swap it for jaggery.
- Sweet Substitutions: If you're out of honey, no worries! You can use treacle or golden syrup instead. They'll do the trick just fine.
