Mawa Cake Recipe (Eggless & Whole Wheat)

Preparation

1. Grease a 7 to 8 inches round pan with butter. Dust some flour on it. Shake and tap the pan so that the flour spreads evenly.
2. You can also line the cake pan with butter paper or parchment paper.
3. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Grease some butter on the butter paper or parchment paper.
5. Crumble the mawa and keep aside. Make sure you crumble it finely as you don't want large chunks of mawa in the cake. You can also grate the mawa.
