1. wheat flour ---- 1 1/2 cup
2. jaggery ---- 3/4 cup ( you can also use one cup if u need more sweetness)
3. Baking powder ---- 2 teaspoons
4. salt a small pinch
5. water ---- 250 ml
6. vegetable oil ---- 7 tablespoons
7. vanilla extract ---- 1 teaspoon
preparation method
1. step 1
Grease a cake tin with oil or butter . Dust 2 teaspoons of wheat flour throughout and tap the cake tin so that the cake tin is evenly dusted with the flour. keep it aside.
2. step 2
pre heat the oven to 180 degree c / 350 degree f for 10 minutes.
3. step 3
Now dissolve the jaggery in water completely . If there are any impurities or dusty particles, strain the jaggery and water liquid through a sieve. mix in the vanilla extract . keep this aside.
4. step 4
sift wheat flour, salt , baking powder through a sieve at least 3 -4 times.
5. step 5
once sifted , mix all the dry ingredients throughly using a spoon. This is just to ensure the salt, baking powder are evenly disributed through the wheat flour.
6. step 6
make a depression in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water + jaggery + vanilla extract liquid, that was prepared in step 1.
7. step 7
Gently bind the ingredients with a spoon. please don't use any whisk or beater for this. over beating will make your cake very dense and heavy. next add in the oil. Again combine the mixture gently. The batter might form a few clumps. But that wont come in your way.
8. step 8
pour this batter into the prepared cake tin.
9. step 9
put this into the preheated oven and bake at 180 degree c / 350 degree f for 20 -25 minutes or bake the center of the cake comes out clean. The baking time depends on the oven. mine took 17 -20 minutes.
10. step 10
After baking time , allow the cake to cool down completely. If the cake is done well and if the greasing and dusting of the cake tin is correct, your cake will unmold by just inverting the cake tin upside down onto a plate.
