you can reduce eggs to 3 and to make sponge with a bit of zing add some shredded lemon rind of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.. Another tip ...granulated sugar is fine for cakes I always use it much cheaper than castor sugar but if you prefer finer sugar just grind granulated sugar in grinder ...hey presto you have your castor sugar ...
Made this twice now, second time I reduced the sugar to one cup (first cake was a little too sweet for my liking) - and was perfecttttt! Very important for butter and eggs to be at room temp! Tip: if the mixture starts curdling, just add the 1/2 cup flour and then continue adding eggs
this is the most simplest and calming video ever. Everything was explained perfectly and not even complex . I will deffo be using this recipie. Thanks 😊
loved this and how you explained to get the icing right. I made it for iftar and it was lovely. My only change was I’d put it on a lower temperature for longer in the oven so it cooks without burning. I had to scrape off the burnt bit 😅but was still yum alhamdulilah
@@rukhsanaakhtar4643 180 should've been fine but I'm pretty sure it also depends on the heat of ur oven. In ur case, u should've turned the heat down a bit to let the middle cook
Thank you Zuhaira. Just managed to make to create my first cake and it turned to be delicious 😋 Now I am afraid I will gain back the 45kg I lost this past year 😅
Thank your for putting measurements in cups, I’m in Canada and wanted to bake this but not used to weight my ingredients 🙃 can’t wait to taste what it’s all about 😋
Second time making this cake and it was still so good. Only thing I would change would be the amount of sugar because it was too sweet and I would reduce the time for the oven since it kind of burnt my cake 😔
Im going to try this soon and see if it tastes nice. The reason why i am not doing it today is because i need icing sugar!!! Edit: i made it a few days ago, and it was AMAZING. I would add just a lil bit more sugar, but overall it was delicious
Do I use a table spoon of baking powder and vanilla essence or a tea spoon as your measurement description differs to what you say in the video. Please let me know sis. Thank youuu
Heyy! I used 180 on a fan assisted oven and it seems that cake is burning but the inside isn’t cooked/ still battery what should I do please ? Currently still in the oven
Hey, I’m sorry for the late reply. I just saw this. Next time drop the temperature by 20°degrees and make it 160°C. Usually fan assisted ovens bake a lot quicker so to slow the process just drop the temperature and double check the settings of the oven.
Thanks for this! If i want to make a smaller batch, probably half of what you made, how do i go about the amount of ingredients? Please help me 😭😭😭 Thanks!
Hey, you can divide the mixture in to two baking trays. The measurements will remain the same like I demonstrated on the video & ingredient list. Make sure you divide the batter equally.
I made this yesterday, so easy, I ate 4 slices on my own, calories don't count when breastfeeding 😉
Breastfeeding lmao
@@theplug4981 ? whats funny

Eat the whole cake tray , you deserve it especially after birthing a child 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Did u add the baking powder?
I made it too but mine was raw in middle but cake was getting really dark on top. Isn't gas mark 180 too high?
@@rukhsanaakhtar4643 180 should've been fine but I'm pretty sure it also depends on the heat of ur oven. In ur case, u should've turned the heat down a bit to let the middle cook
Omg I made this cake and didn’t use any baking powder and only used one egg and it still came out amazing🤤🤤

Salaam sister.. Would you still have your oven at 180 even on a fan assisted oven?
Jayed Ali Walaykum Salam Yes, I have a fan assisted oven and I put it on 180°.
First time making it, it was perfect 😍
this was everything
Can I make it with salted butter?
Can you use baking soda instead of baking powder also can you use caster sugar to make the icing sugar
Hey, I wouldn’t recommend using baking soda for this recipe. Highly advise baking powder. And no you can’t use caster sugar for icing.
@@zuhairaskitchen7146 Thank you
shumz's channel if you put caster sugar and a bit of cornstarch in the blender it turns into icing sugar
How much normal butter do you use as the video and description say two different things? X
wow
Can you make it without vanilla extract or vanilla paste?
Yes ofcourse
MashaAllah sis😁🤩
Thanks for this! If i want to make a smaller batch, probably half of what you made, how do i go about the amount of ingredients? Please help me 😭😭😭 Thanks!

Hey if i have a smaller baking tray can i bake in two? And what will be the measurements for batter?
Hey, you can divide the mixture in to two baking trays. The measurements will remain the same like I demonstrated on the video & ingredient list. Make sure you divide the batter equally.
Yeh thats what i wanted to know i can do it cups?
