Instructions
- The first step is you have to Preheat the oven to 180°C (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Notes
- The cake is a bit sweet. If you want the tea cake to be less sweet, I would say you can reduce the sugar by a few teaspoons. Don’t drop too much. This will have an impact on the cake’s texture.
- I didn’t have any betel nuts on hand, but if you do, use one tsp. Increases the amount of flour in the cake.
