  • 1 cup milk (preferably full fat)
  • 1 cup water 
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp curcuma
  • pinch of salt

Recipe:
  1. Place all dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix them well.
  2. Start adding the oil first, while whisking.
  3. Then add the milk and water slowly while whisking also.
  4. After you've added all the ingredients keep whisking for at least 5 minutes to assure all the ingredients are well dissolved.
  5. Paint the baking tray with some butter to assure that the cake will not stick to it.
  6. Pour the batter in the baking tray (make sure it is not full).
  7. you can decorate it with some nuts on its top.
