Notes

  1. As earlier said, this is not necessary to make this cake with the leftover desi ghee residue. you can make this cake with the mawa/khoya too.
  2. while baking, if the cake top starts turning dark brown but the cake is still under baked, then wrap the cake top with aluminium foil to prevent cake from burning.
  3. whether the cake is properly baked or not, to check this, insert a toothpick or knife in the cake when it is baked completely. if the toothpick/knife comes out clean, your cake is properly baked. otherwise bake for little more time.
