  • Add the sieved maida mixture to the creamy butter mixture little by little ( say 1/2 cup),Simultaneously add boiled milk at room temperature little by little (say 1/4 cup). Use a spatula and fold the cake mixture. Never beat or mix vigorously.Do it gently. When all the flour and milk is over, check the batter consistency. It should not be too thick or thin like falling ribbon.It resembles creamy paste.So don’t panic.

  • Preheat the oven in convection mode at 180c. Place the baking tray inside the oven and bake the cake for 25 to 30 minutes. Original recipe mentioned to bake for 25 minutes whereas mine took nearly 35 minutes as I added more milk.So keep an eye after 20 minutes and check with the knife as explained in the next step.

  • Insert a knife and check if it comes out clean. If the knife comes with uncooked batter, bake for 2-3 minutes more. Again check it. Bake the cake till the inserted knife comes out clean or with crumbs. Remove the baking tray and let it rest for 15 minutes. Run a knife along the sides and invert the cake in a plate. Cake will come out easily if its properly cooked. You can trim the brown part of cake on the sides if you wish. But I din't remove it. Now prick the cake with a fork for the sugar syrup to spread inside the cake. Eggless honey cake recipe
  • Now make the honey syrup and fruit sauce. For this, take a small kadai. Add sugar, water and boil till sugar dissolves completely. After the sugar is melted, switch off the flame. Add rose essence, honey after the sugar syrup becomes warm. Mix well and keep aside. Pour this honey syrup all over the cake. As soon as you pour, cake will absorb all the syrup.  ( You can increase the quantity of honey if you like the cake to be more juicy and sweet)

  • In another kadai, take the jam and sugar. Mix well and melt in medium flame till the jam becomes thin. Switch off the flame and immediately apply the sauce all over the cake. If the melted jam cools down. it will start to solidify. In that case, you can heat and melt the jam again to coat over the cake.At last sprinkle the dessicated coconut powder for garnishing and cut into pieces.

  • Do not beat the batter while adding milk.Fold the batter gently.
  • The base of this cake is not so sweet. So if you apply sugar syrup and jam sauce, sweetness will become perfect.
  • Do not more milk and make the batter thin. It takes longer time to cook.
  • Keep an eye after 20 minutes and check with the knife. Keep checking like this for every 3 minutes. Remove only after the knife comes out clean.
  • Original recipe told to bake for 25 minutes whereas mine took nearly 35 minutes.So baking time may slightly vary as per the oven temperature.
  • Do not invert or remove the cake when its hot. It will break. Invert the cake only after it cools down.
