That smell of ghee makes you fall in love with this cake instantly...
Ingredients

All purpose flour/Maida: 3/4 Cup
Ghee: 1/4 Cup
Fresh Cream: 1/4 Cup
Powdered Sugar: 1/2 Cup
Egg: 2
Vanilla Essence: 1 Tea Spoon
Baking Powder: 1/2 Tea Spoon
Baking Soda: 1/2 Tea Spoon
Milk: 1/2 Cup

Baking Time: 30 - 35 Minutes
Method

Preheat the oven at 150 C
Prepare the cake tin by spreading a little butter all around the tin and then add little flour and spread it to all sides uniformly.  Knock off the excess flour
Or you can line the tin with a butter paper/parchment paper
Separate the egg yolk and white
To the egg yolks add ghee, fresh cream and powdered sugar.  (Reserve a table spoon of sugar for beating the egg whites)
Beat well until light and fluffy
Sieve all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda
To the egg yolk mixture add the sieved all purpose flour mix and vanilla essence
Add milk as necessary and combine well to form a smooth batter
Now beat the egg white until stiff peaks are formed.  Add the table spoon of powdered sugar to it
The egg whites should be stiff enough that if you place the bowl upside down  the egg whites should not drip down
Now add the stiff egg whites to the cake batter
Fold in slowly.
Transfer the cake batter to a prepared cake tin
Bake at 150 for 30 to 35 minutes
Insert a wooden skewer in the middle and check. If it comes out clean then the cake is ready
Remove from oven and let it cool
Once the cake is cooled well remove from cake tin
Let it cool for some more time
Cut and serve with a cup of tea or cofee

Note:
Baking time may vary depending on the oven, so adjust it accordingly
