- Allow the butter to reach room temperature so it mixes easily with the jaggery and Nestlé MILKMAID for a smooth batter.
- If your jaggery is solid, grate it finely or lightly dissolve it to help it mix evenly.
- Alternate between adding the wheat flour mixture and dahi, folding gently as mentioned in the Jaggery Cake recipe, to keep the batter light and airy.
- Toss in nuts or raisins for added texture.
- Fold the ingredients carefully to retain the air, keeping the Jaggery Cake soft and fluffy.
- Ovens vary, so check the cake at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the centre. If it comes out clean, your Jaggery Cake is done.

Dahi helps keep the Jaggery Cake moist and gives it a fluffy texture. Without it, the cake may turn out dry.

Your Jaggery Cake may sink in the middle due to overmixing, opening the oven door too early, or underbaking. To prevent this, mix the batter gently, avoid opening the oven door until the cake is almost done, and ensure it's fully baked before removing it.
3. Can I bake my Jaggery Cake without an oven?
While our Jaggery Cake recipe calls for an oven, you can also bake the cake using a pressure cooker, microwave, or stovetop method.
4. What toppings go well with Jaggery Cake?
Popular toppings include a drizzle of melted jaggery, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the Jaggery Cake's flavours.
