Notes

  • Depending on the brand of wheat flour you use the texture may vary. I used aashirvaad wheat flour. 
  • Instead of melted butter you can use oil.
  • Always use unsalted butter, salted butter may sometimes make the cake taste salty.
  • Using too much vanilla can make the cake bitter.
  • Instead of regular milk, you can use soy milk, almond milk or oat milk. 
  • I used a 6 inch square cake pan. If you are using large cake pan or loaf pan, the baking time will increase or decrease. 
  • If you find the cake getting too dark in colour when baking, place a sheet of aluminium foil on top mid way to prevent the cake getting too dark in colour.
