5. Add milk (of good quality) and vanilla essence to the mixture (4).

6. Now take baking tray and spread butter on it uniformly and thickly.

7. Now pour (better slowly) the already prepared cake mixture (5), uniformly in the baking tray (6).

8. Now keep the cake mixture(7) on the oven and go on baking it at 180 degrees ,until the mixture becomes light gold color and then take it out from the oven.

9. In the mean time, make it into three equal parts, the already finely made (powder-like) coconut pieces, and add orange food color to one part and the green color to the third part and leave the middle part as it is, i.e.; in white color.

10. Now decorate the already taken out the cake mixture from the oven (7), with the tri-colored coconut powdered pieces (8) by spreading it on the cake mixture.

Now the tri-colored cake is ready for serving. It is the ideal choice for Indians to celebrate Independence day.
