Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  • Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the ghee and vegetable oil until well combined.
  • Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
  • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and gently fold them into the ghee mixture.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Slowly incorporate the milk, folding until the batter is smooth.

Prepare the Cake Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper.

Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice and serve.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Ghee Cake

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality desi ghee.
  • Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
