Notes

  • Standard US-size cups and spoons are used. 1 Cup = 240 ml, 1 tbsp = 15 ml, 1 tsp = 5 ml
  • All ovens are different, so keep a close watch on the cake after 30 minutes.
  • Baking time varies with changes in the baking tin size.
  • For me, the cake took around 45 minutes in the oven. The size of the oven dish and temperature varies and hence I have mentioned 30-40 minutes above, but it might take a bit longer at times.
