  • 120 ml milk (½ cup)
  • 300 g flour (2 cups)
  • 15 g baking powder (1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

For Topping

  • Honey
  • Coconut flakes
  • Chopped pistachios

Baking Dish

  • 28 × 17 cm baking dish

How to Make the Perfect Fluffy Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy.

Add:

  • Oil
  • Milk

Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, combine:

  • Flour
  • Baking powder

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until smooth.

Divide a small portion of the batter and mix it with cocoa powder to create a chocolate swirl effect if desired.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into a greased 28 × 17 cm baking dish.

Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown.

Check with a toothpick inserted into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Step 4: Decorate the Cake

While the cake is still slightly warm:

  • Drizzle honey over the top
  • Sprinkle with coconut flakes
  • Add chopped pistachios for extra crunch and flavor

This gives the cake a beautiful finish and enhances its softness and taste.

Tips for the Best Homemade Cake

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake airy
  • Add extra vanilla for a richer aroma
  • Drizzle honey while warm for extra moisture
  • Let the cake cool slightly before slicing
