Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that your cake bakes evenly.
Prepare the Pan
Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with oil or butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cake from sticking.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of jowar (sorghum) flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk them together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Add the Wet Ingredients
Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and add ½ cup of yogurt, ½ cup of oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until you achieve a smooth batter.
Add Water
Gradually add ¼ to ½ cup of warm water to the batter, mixing continuously until the batter reaches a pourable consistency.
Transfer to the Pan
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top if necessary.
Bake the Cake
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Substitutions
