Notes
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Adjust the sugar according to your taste.
Baking time depends upon the temperature settings of your oven.
You can bake the cake on a gas stove too. For that take a thick bottomed pan or karahi which is big enough to accommodate the cake tin. Put some salt in it and keep a stand in the centre. Preheat it covered for 10 minutes. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes on a medium flame. If you are using a pressure cooker to bake the cake, take out the whistle and gasket before preheating.
