Notes:

*Dont use too much baking soda then it will result in a soapy and bitter taste.

*You can check your cake with a toothpick.Just stick a toothpick into the center of your cake. If there is wet batter still on the toothpick, it needs more time in the oven. If it comes out clean, your cake is done.

*You need  equal amounts of white flour,sugar,eggs and dry fruits.
* Dont put cinnamon powder + orange flavor both.
