Thank you so much Dimpy for the lovely feedback, I am glad you liked 🙂
Hi,
The cake looks yummy,I want to try thz without using oven so please guide me & explain the steps…
Aarthi you can bake in cooker or kadhai..just put a stand for the cake and bake on low heat. Cover the cooker without the whistles and gasket. Baking in cooker and kadhai takes little longer time. Usually people add salt too but I do it without it.
I am baking cake 2nd time.
Please guide regarding baking in oven custard powder cake.
I have Panasonic oven where we have auto menu commands.
My question is – Can I use borosil container? Do they pose any risk in pre heating?
And do we need low racks for baking and can the borosil containers be placed on low rack?
Please note my first cake took 5 minues without any racks using borosil container and the result was perfect.
Thanks for your patience.
Hi Prerna, what type of oven you have – microwave or microwave convection or OTG?
Thanks for your response.
Mine is microwave convection.🙂
If your borosil bowl is oven safe you can use.. just set your oven to convection mode and follow the said recipe
Can I use light brown sugar instead?
Raelyn yes you can
I tried
it turned out very dense and even the cake batter also was thick what mite have gone wrong
Hi .. can this one be made with whole wheat ?
Hello Sandeep, Yes you can use whole wheat flour, the texture will slightly differ
and if you’re using whole wheat flour you will need to add few tbsps extra milk to adjust the batter consistency
Thank you .. do we need to add baking soda also for whole wheat?
Not required
God bless you for the recipe.
It really came out fine 😘
Everyone in my family loves it
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback 🙂 I am glad your family loved it 😍
In a mixing bowl, do u mean cream the egg, oil and sugar?
I haven’t used egg. Just mixed the wet ingredients like milk, sugar, oil and let the sugar dissolve

Hi, came across this recipe on the eggless baking group on FB, timing was perfect as I wanted to utilize some extra custard powder I had on hand.
Tried it today evening and can’t believe how easy the recipe was and how awesome the results were ! Thanks a ton.
Only feedback for you would be to include description or video on what the batter consistency should look like, I got a bit stuck there as my batter was initially very thick. Decided to add a bit more milk to make it slightly thin, not knowing if that was the right thing to do..but turned out well.
Will look up your other recipes 🙂
This is nice i love it,thanks
Thank you so much!
Hi, would this cake be suitable for a layer cake- 5 x 9inch layers, or would it be too soft?
I would like to make for my friend daughters 1st bday party where she is having 80 people.
Thanks

Holy hell and (other suitable but considered profane words) this was so simple and quick to make and it tastes impeccable! Thank you so much!
Thanks much for your feedback.. glad you liked it 🙂
