I had bookmarked this recipe long back.And now when I bought my new bundt mould I wanted to try it out.I already own a silicon bundt mould , when I got my new oven got another pan too so that I bake a bigger batch as mittu loves bundts,cupcakes.
I have failed many times using whole wheat flour for cakes during my initial days of baking, but now I can confidently say my whole wheat bakes are liked by all and mittu is so fond of homemade cakes that she always asks me to keep homemade cakes and cookies for her snackbox .I soo wish I could bake often as I would love to but time is the major factor.

My Notes:
- You can add full maida or use half and half of maida and wheat flour.
- Do not overbake, the cake will become hard.
- You can bake these in cup cake moulds too if you don’t have bundt mould.
- The baking timing depends on the size of the cake,mine is very small so got baked in 15mins itself.
- I drizzled the syrup only for few cakes as amma wanted to have it plain.But I loved it with the syrup,the tangy taste went well with the cakes.
- You can replace cane sugar with powdered white sugar too same measure.
