BAKERY STYLE EGGLESS HONEY CAKE

Hai All,

This is one of our fav cake which we always taste in Bangalore, though we get such honey cakes in our home town, but still Bangalore cakes are very unique and amazing flavoured.

This recipe I have already posted in my blog, but still I'm posting it again for you all to read them easily instead of searching again.

Unlike other cakes, honey cake shelf like is not too long, due to coconut flakes and diluted jam this cake must be consumed within three or four days when refrigerated.

The easy , yummy cake recipe is as below,

 

Cooking time : 45 mins.

Servings : 20

Maida – 2 cup

Honey - 2 tsp.

9) Bake at 170" pre heated oven for 40 mins.

10) When inserted a knife it must come out clean, remove from oven and let it cool down completely. when cooled remove from tray and let it rest for 30 mins.
