  2. Grease the cake tin with oil or butter and dust it with flour or use parchment paper.
  3. All ingredients should be at room temperature for the cake.
  4. You can use 50:50 ratio of whole wheat and all purpose flour or completely swap with whole wheat flour.
  5. Cornflour is optional 
  6. You can skip the milk powder or swap it with condensed milk. 
  7. You can use brown sugar instead of regular sugar.
  8. You can use only oil or butter or can use both as done in this recipe. 
  9. If you want to make egg version use 2 eggs and skip the curd and baking soda.
  10. Baking time will differ depending upon your oven temperature settings.
