Process-
Take a mixing bowl and add all the wet ingredients other than soda- Ghee, condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla essence and mix all these together until forms a smooth paste. Now sieve plain flour, corn flour, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. Start putting this dry ingredient mix into your wet ingredients and keep whisking the batter. Add soda drink to make this batter of pouring consistency. Don't whisk it too much, just make sure all the ingredients are mixed well and there are no lumps in the batter. Now pour this in a greased cake tin and bake it in a preheated oven at 170 degree Celsius for 25-30 minutes.

Tip- You can add yellow food color in the batter. You can sprinkle some crystal sugar on top of the cake before baking, it'll make the top caramelized and crispy.

Dual-bowl setup for flexibility

- The KSM195 comes with both a 4.7 L (5 quart) stainless steel bowl and a 2.8 L stainless steel bowl, so you can mix large batters and smaller ingredients in one appliance. I use the large bowl for cake batter and the smaller one for whipping cream—no need for two machines.
