This is a super easy recipe and makes you feel all warm and toasty in a jiffy!
I first baked this cake during the lockdown and have made it a few times since. The last time I made this , was for my annual Diwali dinner and my friends absolutely loved it! My friend, S, packed the last two slices to have along with her morning coffee 🙂
It’s a very simple recipe, just needs some roasted pistachios and cardamom powder. It’s a little healthier since it’s made with whole wheat and jaggery.
Hope you try this and enjoy it! 😀
