Ghee cake recipe: an overview

Ghee cake, also known as clarified butter cake, is a convenient and straightforward recipe to make. It’s a cake that’s super fluffy, spongy, moist, and delicious. Cake baked using ghee is much more delicious and rich in flavor compared to traditional cakes baked with cooking fats or vegetable oils. When a cake is baked with ghee, ghee acts as a natural taste booster and brings the most amazing taste to your cake. 

Why use ghee for making a cake?

Ghee can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. It’s an easy substitution for any oil or butter. Ghee may be used as an oil substitute in baking, but since it has a lower moisture content, the amounts will need to be changed. The nutty flavor and its compelling aroma make it the perfect item for baking; that is why the cake is the most delicious recipe of all. It also provides you with several health benefits under that tasty crust of bread with a mouthwatering taste.
