Notes

- Curd used must be fresh.
- Before using, check expiry dates of baking powder and baking soda.
- Instead of using equal ratios of whole wheat and all-purpose flour, you may use only all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour. Amount of milk will then vary to adjust the consistency of cake batter.
- You may fold in some cranberries or nuts into the cake batter.
