Wheat Flour Cakes

Is there a difference from other cake recipes?
We'll use an ingredient that will add a sweet and different touch to our cakes – powdered milk.

Preparing these wheat flour cakes is straightforward, and it takes very little time. First, get our ingredients ready for a smoother process (flour, sugarcane water, egg, powdered milk, sugar and salt, baking soda, and oil for frying).

- Remember, if you don't want sweet cakes, you can substitute the sugar for salt.
- Ensure the cake dough is thick; otherwise, they might not get the right consistency when frying, and they could absorb too much oil. If it's too watery, just add more wheat flour.
