Baking a cake for your loved ones may turn the moment even more special.. One cannot think  of birthdays, anniversaries and other special moments without a cake.Now a days cakes with customized  designs   and varying flovours are available at our foot steps with not  much of  our efforts.

Notes

The batter should cover only ¾ th of the baking tray otherwise there is a tendency to overflow as the cake rises during baking time.
Make sure to use sour less thick curd.
Dont over beat after adding maida as over beating may reduces the softness of the cake.
Adding 1 tsp honey will result in a more soft cake.
Remember to beat along one side.
