EGGLESS SPONGE CAKE

We do not need an occasion to eat cake. Since I have started baking cake in Kadhai and every time it turns out so fluffy I am actually in love with this experimental journey. Today I have tried egg-less sponge cake and it turned out not only fluffy but yummy too. Here is the recipe, if you do not have a microwave at home, no worries, you can still bake a cake in kadhai. 

Ingredients :

1. Whole wheat flour - 1 cup 

2. Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup
3. Baking soda - 1 tsp

4. Baking powder - 1/2 tsp

5. Milk - as required to make the batter

6. Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp

7. Oil - 1 tsp (for greasing)

Process :

1. In a mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, atta, baking soda and baking powder and mix everything together. Add vanilla essence and gently pour milk to get the mixture into a batter consistency. It should not be very thin but should be of pouring consistency.

2. Once the batter is ready, pour this in the cake tray.

3. Heat the heavy bottom kadhai for 10 minutes and then place a steel stand (optional) inside the kadhai and place the cake tray. If you do not have a steel stand, you can directly place the cake tray in the kadhai. If you want to add fry fruits, sprinkle them at the top of the cake and cover with a lid.

4. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, after 15 minutes you can check by putting a knife inside the cake, if the knife comes out clean, means the cake is done, else you can cook for another 5 minutes and re-check.

5. Let it cool down to room temperature and then remove from the cake tray. The sponge cake is ready and can be serves with some topping or icing, if you wish to.
