INGREDIENTS:

SUGAR	½ CUP
POWDERED SUGAR	½ CUP
EGG	4
BUTTER	100 gm
MAIDA	1 CUP
WATER	½ CUP
BAKING POWDER	1 TSP
BAKING SODA	1 TSP
CONDESED MILK  ( MILK MAID)	¼ CUP

METHOD:
 Prepare caramel:

•  Heat a kadai or thick bottom vessel, add the sugar to it and allow it to melt in med flame.

• 
• Never stir it, once it melted completely, add  hot water to it ( other wise the sugar solidifies ) and now give a stir for 2 min 

•  Allow it to cool down. 

 To make the batter:

• Sieve maida , cooking soda, soda powder atleast for two times and keep aside.
• In a bowl beat powdered sugar and melted butter .

• Beat until it becomes fluffy and add milk maid to it and stir well with a beater or spoon and keep aside.

 

•  In another bowl , add the eggs and beat them with electric beater or with hand or even can use a mixer jar , until it becomes like soapy lather.
• It may take upto 15 minutes.

• Now add this egg solution and sieved powders  little by little to the beatend sugar butter mixture.
• And mix this slowly with a hand blender or beater

• Then slowly add the caramel syrup to the batter and stir well.

• Mean while apply little butter on the baking tray, then throw little maida to it, pat the pan slightly so that maida gets strick on whole sides of the tray.

• Also preheat the oven to 180 deg .
• Transfer the batter to the baking tray and bake it for 40 minutes in 180 deg.

Tips:

1. The colour of the cake depends on the colour of the caramel. So after the sugar completely melts , allow it to cook for few more seconds .Take care it should not be burned.When it reaches a dark colour then add hot water.
2. After 30 minutes, take a tooth pick, immerse in the centre of the cake and take back.If the it comes out easly and nothing is stuck in it.Then the cake is ready. Do this again after 5 minutes. 40 minutes is maximum temp.
3. The raising agents of a cake are the sodas and egg.If the quantity of these increase or decrease then the middle of the cake sinks down.
