  • After the eggs are whipped, fold in the ingredients gently so not over mix the batter.
  • Once the batter is prepared immediately pour in prepared cake tin and bake it. Do not keep it for too long.
  • Check after 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick if it comes out clean or with cake crumbs then cake is done. Else bake for 5 more minutes, but make sure not to over bake.
