Recipe Notes
Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are not too old otherwise cake will not rise well.
It is advised to sift all the dry ingredients together for 2-3 times for fluffy and soft result, as it helps to incorporate air in batter.
Keep the preheated oven and greased mould ready before proceeding.
Pour mix immediately in mould and then put in the preheated oven.
Do not let mix stand outside of oven for long, it may result in hard cake.
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before use.
While folding dry and wet ingredients make sure there are no lumps.
