After I started baking I literally have stopped going towards the bakery which I think is a good sign and I always look for recipes that is healthy as maida/plainflour is not my cup of tea. So here I am with a recipe I tried from the web and it is one of the yummy cakes I came across which is guilt free 🙂 . Lets begin no? 🙂

Ingredients :

Atta/Whole Wheat – 2 cups

1 to 2 cups of jaggery , cane sugar (intent is to refrain using refined sugar)

1/2 tb baking powder

1 1/2 tb baking soda

2 tb cinammon powder

3/4 cup refined oil (I used rice bran oil)

1 cup curd

water as required

walnuts, raisins , figs – a fistful

Method (I use a connection micro wave, so if you are using a oven please adjust accordingly)

1.)Pre Heat the microwave to 180 deg C | for oven 200 deg c is good

2.)Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl

3.)Blend the curd and oil together in another bowl.

4.) Mix the dry and wet ingredients and mix well. Add water as required to get the dripping consistency .

5.) add the dry fruits the way you want . I chose to garnish them , sometimes I mix them with the cake mixture itself

6.) Oil bottom of the baking dish and bake at 180 deg C for about an hour , of course checking in regular intervals . The tooth pick has to come clear when inserted and thats the sign of a baked cake .

7.) cut and serve when cool

Dry ingredients mix

Wet Ingredients mix

Blend blend both

The dry fruit time

Notes : Mixing the ingredients well is key to a good cake is my learning .

You can replace all the ingredients with maida, sugar etc and that will be the regular cake. This is an attempt to eat healthy and yet tasty .

Sugar I added one cup and it was just sweet the way I like and if you are sweet tooth soul then make it 2 cups of sugar (cane) .
