NOTE:

----------

1. Adjust brown sugar according to the sweetness of jackfruit. I used a very sweet variety, so 1/4 cup was perfect for me.

2. You can also use soft butter at room temperature without melting it.

3. When you are adding melted butter, make sure it is not hot. Else, the egg will get cooked.

4. You can also add dryfruits, nuts, tutti fruity etc. to the cake batter.

5. Cow milk or coconut milk can be added too a little to the batter. But it is optional.

6. Frosting or glazing too can be done on the cake, but not necessary.
