    Dear Sailu,

    Thanks for this lovely cake recipe .. I wanted to ask you if I could carry this on a flight and the journey is about 15 hrs long .. from Düsseldorf to Taiwan. I just wanted to surprise my husband with a cake straight from our home oven and your lovely recipe .. hope to hear from you soon! With best wishes always .. Divya

    You are welcome, Divya. Yes, you can carry it with you. The cake keeps well upto 2-3 days. Hope your husband enjoys the surprise. :)

    Rani, invest in an OTG (Oven/Toaster/Grill), it works very good for the Indian Kitchen. You can bake cakes, and grill chicken, pizzas etc. I use Morphy Richards brand.

    Hello Sailu garu,
    I love this cake, tried this recipe and it came out good. Would like to know if i want to make it eggless what substitute i need to add?

    Grind 1 tbsp of flax seeds to a pwd and add 3 tbsps of water. For one egg its 1 tbsp of flax seeds.

    Hi Sailu,
    This is the first time I am commenting. I tried lots of your receipes, all came out very good.
    Is it possible to substitute milk with soy milk? or anything else? suggest me as my son has milk allergy. so he cannot have it.

    Yes, you can substitute with soy milk, Kavitha.

  14. Pinaki on March 20th, 2010 at 5:34 pm:

    hi sailu,
    I tried many of your recipes including paneer butter masala. They are awesome. I want to make this cake egg less.You have mentioned above about flax seeds. But i don’t know what is that and also it would not be available to me.
    Can you please suggests me any other substitute?

    You can use banana puree as a substitute.

  15. Siri on March 21st, 2010 at 5:40 pm:

    Siri

  16. sailu on March 23rd, 2010 at 2:19 am:

    You can use the hand blender or wooden spatula to combine. You can fold or blend.

  17. sailu on March 23rd, 2010 at 2:23 am:

    I live in India.

  18. sailu on March 23rd, 2010 at 2:27 am:

    Try using banana puree (1 banana puree for 1 egg) OR 2 tbsps baking soda.

  19. Pria on March 28th, 2010 at 4:24 pm:

    Hi Sailu,

    I dont know what went wrong for me but the cake didnt rise and the sides turned brown but the top was very light in color. I knew right then that something was wrong. The only change I made was that I baked at 325 deg F instead of 350 deg F as stated in your recipe. The reason I reduced the temp was because I used a non stick pan, do you think that caused the cake to not rise?

    Next time follow the oven temp according to the recipe and use good quality baking pwd. Place baking vessel in the middle rack of the oven.

    Hi Sailu,

    I really love making these cakes as my 2 and half year old daughter loves them.. I have a question ..I have vanilla extract at home .. Is this the same as vanilla essence.. Can I use in place of the vanila essence from ur recipes ??

    Thank u so much for all the wonderful and delicious recipes.. This is helping me in feeding my daughter who is very picky..

    Mrudula.

  21. sailu on April 2nd, 2010 at 3:26 am:

    Yes, you can use vanilla extract in place of vanilla essence.

  22. Sugi on April 20th, 2010 at 12:13 pm:

    Hi Sailu,
    You have got a very wonderful site, with so mouthwatering recipes! That too a place with full of yummy recipes, just for kids?! Ohh, I just love it! :) Thanks for sharing all the recipes.

    While I was checking for some kids recipes, I found this yummy cake recipe today. The picture looks so awesome and am sure my kids would love it.

    I have only one question/doubt though.
    Can I use my Bread machine to bake this cake?!
    If yes, should I be mixing and preparing the batter outside and use the bread machine for baking alone? OR Can I put all the ingredients and let the BM do the kneading & baking?
    Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

  23. chandu on April 21st, 2010 at 3:24 pm:

    can we do this an eggless version? if so pls tell me… ur cake looks yummy!!! :)

  25. sailu on September 7th, 2011 at 9:45 am:

    I have never used a bread machine, Sugi. So I am not sure how it will turn out.
