Notes
1. Whole wheat flour can be replaced with all purpose flour or add both in the ratio of 50:50.
2. You can use regular refined sugar or brown sugar or jaggery in place of cane sugar.
3. If you already have allspice, add 1 tsp of that only. Then no need to add cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg separately.
4. May mix and/or top with nuts or seeds (especially pumpkin seeds) if you like.
5. As every oven is different, your's baking timings may be varied. So is the
choice of rack. If you generally bake in middle rack, do it that way without any issues. 6. With the same batter, you can make muffins instead of cake. In cake of muffins, baking timings will be less than cake baking. Take it around 18 to 20 minutes.
