Tips:
- Use fine suji: Fine suji results in a smoother cake texture compared to coarse suji. If you only have coarse suji, blend it into a fine powder before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Use a bundt pan or tube pan: The hole in the center of a bundt pan or tube pan allows the cake to cook evenly. If you don't have a bundt pan or tube pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan, but the cake may take longer to cook.
- Don't overcook the cake: An overcooked suji cake will be dry and crumbly. To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing: Glazing a warm cake will cause the glaze to run off. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it.
Conclusion:
Suji cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, suji cake is a great recipe for beginner bakers. Experiment with different flavorings and glazes to create your own unique suji cake.
