    Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe 

    All Purpose Flour / Maida 

    Maida requires more oil or butter when baking or cooking because it is lighter and rises faster, which is why bakers prefer maida to atta. All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend of
    hard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.

    Baking Powder 

    Baking powder is used in baked goods to increase volume and lighten the texture. It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough via an acid-base reaction, which causes bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and leaven the mixture.

    Cinnamon Powder 

    Ground cinnamon is added to dry mixtures, quick-cooking recipes, and recipes that call for a stronger flavour. Its simple to swap ground cinnamon for cinnamon sticks, but be careful not to overpower the dish.
