Eggless Lemon Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- All purpose flour – 1 cup

- Yellow food color – few drops
- Grated Lemon zest – ½ tsp
- Curd – 1/3 cup

(Note: 1 Cup = 250 ml.
If you are using Maida for each cup measurement take 2 Tbsp less and instead replace it with 2 Tbsp cornflour
When ever you are mixing for the cake with hand or hand mixer, you should mix in one direction only to get soft cakes.
Make sure your oven settings are correct, else cakes wont come proper even though recipe is correct)

Preheat oven to 175 degree. Line a cake pan with baking sheet (butter paper) and keep it ready.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
