Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variations to the ragi cake recipe. Firstly, fine and best-quality ragi flour is mandatory for this recipe. Most of the finger millet flour turns into lumps when mixed with wet ingredients. Avoid any stale less fresh flour. Secondly, to make it healthy, I have used jaggery as an alternative to sugar. Sugar is an ideal choice best texture and taste, but not a healthy option. Lastly, in this recipe, I have not shown or used any frosting and served it as a plain sponge cake. But you may add any type of frosting as per your preference.
