Instructions:
-
Prepare Syrup:
- In a saucepan, mix the sugar and water. Heat on low flame until the sugar dissolves completely, and a single string consistency forms.

Prepare Batter:

- Add butter and vanilla essence to the batter. Fold gently until fully incorporated.
-
Add Baking Powder:
- Take 2 teaspoons of baking powder and add it to 2 tablespoons of hot (boiling) water. Allow it to froth. Once cooled, add it to the batter. (This is a key ingredient omitted from the initial ingredient list.)
-
Incorporate Eggs:
- Stir in the beaten eggs, one at a time, into the batter until well combined.
-
Layer and Bake:
- Pour half of the batter into a buttered cake baking dish (9 x 9 inches). Add the red color drops to the remaining batter and mix well.
- Pour the colored batter over the first layer in the baking dish.
- Bake for about an hour or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
