Ghee cake

Cake baked using ghee is much more delicious and rich in flavor compared to traditional cakes. 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.

It also provides you several health benefits under that tasty crusts of bread with a mouthwatering taste.
