In a bowl, whisk together 200 grams of maida (all-purpose flour), 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt to keep things light and fluffy.

In another bowl, beat 200 grams of butter with 200 grams of sugar until it's pale, fluffy, and basically begging for eggs.
- 5
Add 4 eggs one at a time, beating after each addition like it's an audition for the fluffiest cake ever.
- 6
Gradually fold in the dry flour mixture, stirring gently but confidently to make sure no lumps crash the party.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence for that subtle sweetness and the seeds of 1 juicy pomegranate because, yes, we're fancy.

Pour the batter into a greased cake tin, smoothing the top like you're frosting the runway, and bake for 40-45 minutes—or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean (a literal mic drop for cakes).

Once baked, let the cake cool before popping it out of the tin because patience is key to this glow-up.

For the glaze, mix the juice of 1 pomegranate with 100 grams of powdered sugar until it's silky smooth, then drizzle it over the cooled cake like edible art.
