Now add the milk & vanilla essence and mix them well using a whisk in one direction.Make sure there are no lumps.Do not beat the mixture.Fold it gently.Add the chopped cashew nuts.Check the consistency of batter.If it is very thick,add 2 tbsp milk.The batter should fall like a ribbon.That’s the correct consistency.

Now take a baking pan and line it with a butter paper or grease the pan with oil & sprinkle maida all over the pan to coat it. I used a non-stick pan for baking.So i din’t grease it.I used the pan as such.Fill the pan with batter and pat it well to break the air bubbles.

Preheat the oven in convection mode at 180c and bake the cake at 180c for 25-30 minutes.First keep the time for 20 minutes & brush the top of cake with milk.Again bake it for 3 minutes.Check the cake by inserting a tooth pick.If the tooth pick comes out with uncooked batter,u have to bake for another 2 minutes.Again remove & check with the tooth pick.If the cake is not done,bake for 2 minutes more.Mine took exactly 28 minutes.Once the cake is done,the tooth pick will come out clean little crumbs.Hope u can see the crumb in the picture below.

Allow the cake to cool down for 20 minutes.Now run a knife all through the sides of cake and invert the pan over a plate.It will come off easily.Cut them into slices & enjoy with your coffee/tea !

Note

Add more milk(few tbsp) to adjust the consistency of cake batter.But make sure u bake for more time because cake takes more time to bake based on the consistency of batter.
You should bake it until the tooth pick comes out clean or with little crumbs.Over baking makes the cake hard & chewy sometimes burnt too.
Under baking gives you a sticky tasting cake.So please adjust the baking time as per your oven.
