To this,add the sieved maida mixture. Make a smooth batter using a whisk. Make sure there are no lumps and sugar is dissolved properly. Grease a baking tray with butter and sprinkle maida all over it OR line the baking pan with butter paper.

The consistency of batter should be thin and falls like a thin ribbon. Pour the batter and pat the pan for even distribution of flour. Keep it ready.

Pre heat the oven in convection mode at 180c and keep the baking pan inside the oven. Let it bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove and check it with the back of spoon or tooth pick. If it comes out clean, cake is done else bake for 5 more minutes. Let the cake cool down for 15 minutes. Invert the cake and remove it in a plate. Cover with a cotton cloth or a cling wrap. You can do icing & decorate the cake as you wish Or simply drizzle some chocolate syrup and sprinkle sugar balls. Serve & Enjoy !

Note

I used milk & water in equal quantity but the original recipe used only water. So Vegans can replace milk with water.
