  • Pour the batter onto the prepared cake pan. Tap the cake pan on the counter for 3-4 times to release any air bubbles inside.

Notes/Tips

1. Jaggery can be replaced with brown sugar or cane sugar or granulated sugar. 2. To bake with eggs, replace yogurt with 2 eggs and leave out the baking soda.
