Notes

  • You can use any millet flour, dry roast the millet in a pan. Cool it completely. Powder it fine. Sieve it and use.
  • Make sure you whip the eggs really well with the sugar till stiff peaks are formed. This step makes the cake light and fluffy.
  • Adding vanilla is optional. You can use ground cardamom as well.
  • Instead of millet flour, you can use rice flour as well.
  • Every oven is different. So keep checking the cake.
  • If you use a bigger cake pan, the cake will cook even faster.
