Power Tip:
If the cake sinks in the middle, there are chances that the tray used for baking was too small. Using more milk than the desired quantity also makes it sink. Be mindful of this.
Notes:
Apart from being rich in protein, sattu has generous proportions of iron, manganese, and magnesium. It is low in sodium. Adding oats flour provides fiber and other essential nutrients. Enjoy this special Valentine's Day treat!
