The Best Tea Cake

19 Dec

About the Recipe

We will feel elated when we sip hot tea or coffee with a cake on a winter morning. The simple tea cake is baked without eggs and without an oven, yet it is perfectly buttery, moist, with a golden crust, and with tender crumbs that will melt away in your mouth. The cake is demoulded easily and quickly when Oddy Ecobake is used. Oddy Ecobake gives you a smooth lining for your cake in the baking tray since it is non-sticky and easy to remove after baking.

About the Recipe

Navratri Special Dhokla for Vrat. Dhokla is a popular and traditional Indian recipe originating from Gujarat. One of the key issues that people face when steaming dhokla is that it gets stuck to the pan. When we take it out, the shape gets broken. Ecobake helps in getting the perfect dhokla shape without any greasing and no need for cleaning afterward.
