2. Always measure the ingredients on weighing machine to get best results.
3. Always use brown paper which is used for covering notebooks and never butter paper as it can burn.
4. Baking is always done best in OTG and not microwave oven.
5. The procedure of mixing the ingredients is different from regular way, as mentioned in books, but it makes
     your cake much better.
