Oil is used for the moist texture and the butter gives you a nice smell. Further recipe uses thick curd, baking powder, baking soda and vinegar to make the cake spongy and fluffy.

Plain curd and baking soda reacts with one another makes the cake soft while baking powder makes it rise during baking giving it a light and fluffy texture.
