Wheat Cake

Few days back I told JJ about the wheat cake recipe I had found in one of the blogs. He was like “What? A wheat cake?? Oh come on! it would taste like an ada, so pls don’t try it”…. Fine! But I desperately wanted to try out the wheat cake for two reasons-first,it was rich in nutrients since the refined flour (empty calories) was substituted with wheat flour and we use jaggery instead of the normal sugar (which is of course another source of empty calories!!)…..and secondly, I haven't tasted a wheat cake before,so wanted to know how it would taste like!!*smiles*
Finally, yesterday when I had some “me time”, I decided to bake the cake and believe me it took hardly 30 minutes for preparing and baking the cake…..The cake was just delicious---a soft cake with a rich taste of jaggery (I like the taste of jaggery) *smiles*.....And guess what?? even JJ liked it!!!*winks* (according to him, the jaggery had balanced the wheat flour taste).




Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Spicy Chilly

Wheat flour - 200gms
Jaggery - 1 cup (grated loosely filled)
Milk - 1 cup (plus 1-2 tbsp if the batter is thick)
Oil - 1/2 cup
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Vanilla - 1/2 tsp

Method:
  • Sieve flour, baking soda and baking powder twice or thrice to combine in a bowl.
  • Add grated jaggery and combine gently.
  • Add milk, vanilla essence and oil. Use a spatula to combine the mixture gently.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30mins at 180 C or till a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Note: If using a microwave oven, then microwave on high (900W) for 8 minutes.

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer and make a pulp out of it.
