Eggless Cake - Yummy
A traditional Kerala sweet that balances richness with restraint. Made with jaggery, coconut, and a careful hand, the sweetness is warm rather than overwhelming — the kind of flavour that lingers.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 1 cup Flour maida
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 1/2 cup White butter or unsalted butter check notes for more details
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- Soda bi-carbonate - 1/2 tsp
- 5 tbsp Milk or as much you need for the ribbon consistency
- 2 tbsp Coco powder for the chocolate flavour
- 1 tbsp Coffee not necessary, if you want you can replace it with any other flavour or just drop it completely
Preparation
Step 1
Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, soda-bi-carb, baking powder in a bowl.
Step 2
In another bowl beat curd, butter and sugar till fluffy.
Step 3
The more you beat these, the fluffier and softer your cake will turn out.
Step 4
So if you have a little extra time, keep beating, if you don¦t, its okey, your cake will anyways turn out real good.
Step 5
Stir in the flour mix ie the contents of bowl one (from step 1) to the beaten curd-butter-sugar mixture slowly. Take care not to form any lumps.
Step 6
Add milk, stir properly and check the consistency of the batter by dropping it with a spoon from a height. :-If it¦s too thick, add some more milk till you get a smooth flowing ribbon consistency.
Step 7
Pour the batter in a greased microwave safe dish. :-You can line your container with some dry flour so that the cake does not stick to it once done.
Step 8
Put in the microwave for 7 to 8 minutes at 540 degree Celcious.
Step 9
No grill or convention needed. Just put the cake in, set time and temperature and start.
Step 10
Check if the cake is done by sticking a knife into the cake, if it comes out clean, let the cake cool. If some batter sticks to the knife, let it go for another minute or two.
Step 11
Cool and garnish with your favourite icing and fruits. Or you might want to try it without the icing, just some simple decoration. I just pour lots of chocolate syrup over it. :-You can decorate it anyway you wish. Add some sprinklers for some fun and colours, if you are making it for kids.
Step 12
Its really easy, fast and fun!
Step 13
*** Note: The yogurt and white butter are the special ingredients here, they are used instead of the egg since we are going to just microwave the cake, ie cook it and not bake it. If we had to use eggs in this recipe, they would not get cooked as fast as the butter and yogurt.
Tip
Ghee quality matters enormously in traditional sweets. Use homemade ghee if you can — the flavour is incomparably richer.
