- For a more intense paan flavor, increase the amount of ground paan or use a stronger variety of betel leaf.
- If you don't have Meetha Paan, using fresh betel leaf and rose petal jam (gulukand) creates an authentic paan flavor. Adjust quantities based on preference.
- Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for optimal leavening.
- To enhance the visual appeal, sprinkle chopped pistachios or other nuts on top of the cake before baking.
