The cake is everyone’s favorite dessert. When I was in school, the cake with Jam and desiccated coconut was my most favorite cake. This delectable cake with the jam and desiccated coconut will take you back to your school days!!
I have experimented with using doughnut molds to make small cakes. I have used cupcake molds too. The baking time varies with the type of mold used. Making these cakes is very easy and takes a few minutes.
