Finger Millet Flour (Ragi) and Whole Wheat Flour (Atta) Cake!!!!!! Eggless; Butterless and Sugarless.......

Having tried my hands on different types of cake; I can proudly say that this one was one of the best experiment I have done so far. Needless to say it is definitely healthy. Indulgence in something sweet not really an issue any more.


Let's begin with the ingredients first:

Ingredients
Quantity
Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup
Ragi Flour/Finger Millet*
½ cup
Yogurt
¾ cup
Vegetable oil
½ cup
Jaggery (grated/Powdered)
½ cup
Milk
¼ cup
Honey
½ cup
Baking Soda
1 +1/4 tsp
Chocolate Syrup
3 tbsp
Vanilla Essence
1 tsp

*Tips
1) If you dry roast the finger millet flour for 2 to 4 minutes, the texture of the cake comes out even better
2) In the end if the batter for some reason is thick then chilled water can be added to make it smooth. Pls do not add hot water as it will make the batter sticky.
3) Since the jaggery I had was too hard, I boil  the required quantity of milk (mentioned in the ingredients) and then added the jaggery to it. It melts in the milk and once it comes to room temperature it can be used for making the batter



Method Of Preparation:
  • Preheat Oven at 350 Degree F
  • In a bowl add all the dry ingredients and then add all the liquid ingredients to it one by one; in the end add milk and vanilla to it until the batter becomes smooth
  • The batter consistency should be little thin
  • Pour the batter in the cake pan and let it bake for 25-30 minutes
  • Insert a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. If it does the cake is ready to be served

Enjoy Baking!!!!!
