Baked to perfection with the richness of A2  ghee, this cake is soft, moist, and absolutely delicious. Follow this simple recipe to create a delightful treat that will impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• ¾ cup Rosier A2 ghee, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. This helps in aerating the flour and ensures a lighter cake texture.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the melted ghee and sugar until well combined and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

4. Prepare the Buttermilk Substitute

In a measuring cup, combine the milk and vinegar (or lemon juice) to create a buttermilk substitute. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it curdles slightly.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Alternate adding the sifted dry ingredients and the prepared buttermilk to the ghee-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.

6. Pour the Batter into the Pan

Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

7. Bake the Cake

Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. Cool and Serve

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve the delicious Eggless Ghee Cake with a cup of tea or coffee.

Recipe Notes:

• Ghee Quality: Using high-quality, aromatic ghee is essential for a flavorful cake. Opt for Rosier A2 ghee for the best results.

• Buttermilk Substitute: If you have store-bought buttermilk on hand, you can use 1 cup of buttermilk instead of the milk and vinegar/lemon juice mixture.

• Flavor Variations: You can add a teaspoon of cardamom powder or nutmeg for an aromatic twist to your cake.
