Whole wheat jaggery cake: No sugar, no maida!!
*** Note: Below recipe is eggless. To replace it with eggs, I will update the proportions later after I try it out.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 1.5 cup jaggery
- 3/4 cup fresh curd OR 3 room temperature eggs
- 3/4 cup ghee or oil
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup of chopped dry fruits, nuts and tootie fruity. (eg. almonds, cashews, dates, blank and yellow raisins, dry figs etc)
- some fresh orange juice or small tetra pack of mixed fruit juice, or orange juice to soak dry fruits in.
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon powder (completely optional, skip- if you cannot take the strong flavor of cinnamon. I liked it, however)
- a pinch of salt
Preparation:
1. Soak chopped nuts and dry fruits in the juice for at least 2 hours. Keep some of the chopped almonds and dry fruits to add on top of the cake batter for garnishing.
2. Grease the cake pan with oil and flour. Keep it aside.
**3. pre-heat the oven for 180° C
4. Sieve 2 times all dry ingredients together => Wheat flour + baking soda + baking powder + cinnamon powder + salt.
(Sieving gives good results)
5. When everything else is ready, mix the wet ingredients. For that, take curd in a bowl, add vanilla essence. In a pan take jaggery and ghee and heat it together till jaggery melts. put the mixture in the curd. Then immediately add dry ingredients gradually, and mix with the cut-and-fold method.
6. Add a layer of remaining chopped nuts on top of batter.
7. Immediately put the baking tin in OTG. Bake it at 180° C for 35-40 mins. For me, it took 40-45 mins.
8. Check if the cake is baked by inserting a knife or a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean. If it's not, bake it for another 5 min.
9. Once a cake is completely baked, take it out from the oven and run a knief from the edges to separate it from the pan. Then let it cool down for 10 mins.
10. After that take out the cake in a plate gently and let it cool down for another 30 mins.
11. Cut and serve the delicious fruit cake to everyone around you!!!
