Salam,
I would like to say that I have tried this cake yesterday and it turned out fantastic!! my husband loved it. Thank you soo much for all the wonderful recipes you are posting and the website looks great. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks for your comment,
I am glad you and your husband liked the cake.
Salaam,I just want to tell you vanilla extract has alcohol,when I checked it said 35% alcohol,Muslims do not use alcohol,so,please check this.
Asalamu Alaikum, many thanks for your comment.
You can use the following
Vanilla powder
Vanilla bean
Vanilla flavored extracts (non-alcohol), you can find these from Trader Joes, williams-sonoma I am not sure were you live.
Let me know if you are able to find non-alcohol vanilla, or if any one knows other parts of the world where they get their vanilla I would appreciate if you could leave a comment.
Salaam Alaykum, Made this cake today, came out great. I love your recipes, they are simple and easy to make…Thank you very much for sharing.
WSalaam
Thanks for your feedback, greatly appretiated.
Hey, when you say flour, do you mean plain flour or self-ra ising flour?
Plain flour, you can use self-raising flour but dont add the baking powder.

I Just Would Like to Say, I Love This Cake But it Always Turns Out ti Be Burnt, You See Our Oven Goes Up To 250 And HEre We Have To Take it To 350 Degrees. I Take it up to 250 And itss Always Burnt, Please Can You Tell Me What Number I Should Take it too.

Sorry about the burnt cake, next time you bake if you set your oven to 180 degrees Celsius it should work Insha Allah.
take care
Thank You Sister Sooooooo Much It was Really Nice And BTW I Lovee
Your Website And I Always Make Food From here. With Me Only Being 13 You Inspire Me<3 Thank You Soo Much Jazak
Thank you so much Almas for you kind words and thanks for visiting, and only 13 you are amazing.
Salaamu Alaykum. Love the recipes. As a soon to be graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, I have found that there are many ways to substitute for things like “vanilla extract” to avoid using the Haram items. One thing you could do (I highly recommend this) is simply use the vanilla bean itself. It gives you a stronger vanilla taste. Just split it open and scrape the insides for the “essence” of the bean.
I have tried many of the recipes on this site. Masha Allah.
Many thanks for your feed back
Jazakalahu Khair
Wa calaykumu Salaam
Many thanks for the tip.
Also onthe vanilla issue,there are no alcohol alternatives but are very hard to find suchas a syrup-textured brown vanilla extract,but its probably not extract to be honest.
Best thing to do is,buy the vanilla pods(in London these can be a bit expensive) flatten each with a knife then cut them open using a knife straight down the middle to help release flavour; and then put them in a glass jar and pure sugar over it.And then you have vanilla sugar for all your bakes,pancakes,waffles etc which should give the same flavour if not better.
Salaam.
forgot to add fill the jar till nearly full and close in an airtight container to infuse for a few days,weeks etc.
Thanks for the great tip, the vanilla sugar is a good idea to keep it around.
can it work without vanilla
It will work, the cardamom only will be enough.
JazakhillLaah khayran for sharing this recipe. I did everything except add the vanilla and it was still awesome. My husband and I love this cake, thank you so much.
Thanks so much for sharing sister, may Allah bless you and your family.
