Hi Raveen, you can replace the oil with melted butter. Use same quantity of the melted butter. Thank you so much! 🙂

Hi is the milk powdered milk or in liquid form?
Hari Chandana P says
Normal milk.. not powder
rt says
Hey I made the cake in a single shot but it didn't rise enough. The consistency was quite thinner than what it looks in the pic here. But it's cooked well 🙂
The worrying part is, the frosting looks like the milk has spoilt in it o_O please suggest.
Hari Chandana P says
I am sorry for that.. I am not sure where went wrong. Add milk little by little to the frosting till you get the right consistency. or add more powdered sugar to adjust the consistency. Sorry for the late response.
Shaila says
Hi ! Can the lemon juice be substituted with white vinegar? It’s generally interchangeable so would it be alright? 2 cups of milk measured using the liquid measuring cups correct?
Hari Chandana Ponnaluri says
Yes! Correct!
Shaila says
Thank you for your quick response! Just to clarify, it’s fine to beat the wet ingredients with the hand mixer? You said to fold in the flour as in using the whisk?
Hari Chandana Ponnaluri says
Yes, you can beat the wet ingredients using a hand mixer. I suggest using a spatula or whisk to combine the dry and wet ingredients. Have a nice day! 🙂
