Cake without oil, baking powder

Recipe: Rice flour 1 glass, organic atta/refined wheat flour 1 glass, 1/2 glass powdered sugar, milk 1 glass, water 2 glass - are made to a smooth batter. You can use stainer to further smoothen the mixture. Then it is made to 2 parts, one part is mixed with food colour.

Now, take a steamer/or any other suitable utensil, fill water, place a cake container on the water with the help of any stand/base (steel). Brush the inside of the container with oil or ghee. Then put some amount of prepared mixture (without colour) in the container, keep the lid. Keep it for 2-3 minute, it will get cooked within that time. Then add the coloured mixture, put the lid on. This way you can add as many layers you want. Keep it for at least 2 minute after adding each layer. Once all laters are laid, keep it for 7-8 minutes. You can turn off the flame. Once it is cool, add whipped cream and your cake is ready.

Mango Cake with chocolate layer

I live in Bangalore, India. The mango season is almost coming to an end here and you will hardly get good quality mango from now onwards. I kept a mango aside for some time thinking that I would try something new in my cake experiments :-).

Ingredients are refined wheat flour - One and half coffee cup, ripe mango cubes - almost a bowl, sugar - half cup, cocoa powder - 2 table spoon, mango custard powder - 1 table spoon, dark chocolate - 7/8 blocks, curd - half bowl, 2 eggs, vanilla essence - 2 tsp, baking powder - 1 tsp and baking soda - half tsp.

In a bowl, firstly the refined oil and the sugar are whisked and then eggs are added and whisked again. Then curd is added. Now when these ingredients are ready, the refined wheat flour is added. The grinded mango is added. Whisking continues and vanilla essence is added. Then mixed the baking powder and baking soda. The batter is almost ready.

In a cake tin, one tsp of oil is brushed uniformly over the inner surface. A little bit of flour is sprinkled over it - so that the cake can be removed easily once it is baked.

The batter is divided into 3 parts. One part is added to the cake container now. A thin layer is made by mixing cocoa powder and batter. This layer is added on top of the first layer. The third layer is made of the custard powder and the remaining batter. These constitutes the 3 layers of different colour and feel.

Now the cake tin is gently tapped to settle the mixture. It is then kept in a pre heated(180 degree) oven for 30 minutes.

After the cake is baked, the melted chocolate is laid on top and a little bit of sprinkles are also added. Let the cake settles for 30 minutes.

It is ready :-). Happy baking.
