  1. Hi, I prepared this cake today , cake came out soft but the smell of the oil was more ( used olive oil) and could feel the the flavour of the oil.
    Can I add some powdered Jaggery as the cake was less sweet
    Please guide me on the above things

  2. Thanks Sun Purva!
    Yes you can add jaggery syrup or powder or even increase the quantity of dates.. Some times olive oil gives a strong smell, you can switch to refined oil or coconut oil...
