In a bowl beat butter or ghee or oil with sugar until creamy

Then add eggs one at a time. Beat until well combined.

In another bowl mix all dry ingredients (except food colour).

Then gradually add the sifted dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) add vanilla essence until well combined.

Then add the zarda food colour into the cake mixture. The ratio of food colour is as much as you like the yellow colour. But didn't put a lot of it. Mix well.

Then in two greased tinsel divide the cake mixture and bake it in the preheated oven for about 40 - 45 minutes or until you check with the toothpick and it comes out clean.

After the cake is cooked allow it on the rack to cool down.

Now slice it like cake rusk and place it on the baking tray.

Bake the cake rusk on very low heat from bake sides until golden brown from both sides and moisture is gone and fully dry.

Now let them cool down again. Now they are ready to eat or place them in an air tight jar. Enjoy with your tea or coffee!
