Instructions
Getting Started
- Grease a 7″ round cake tin with a few drops of oil.
- {Optional} Line the bottom of the tin with parchment paper.
Making the Cake Batter
- To a mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup neutral cooking oil and 1 cup finely grated jaggery or 1 cup jaggery powder .
- Mix well for about 5 minutes for the jaggery to start melting.
- Now add 1/2 cup dahi and once again mix well to ensure the jaggery is well-incorporated.
- Set the mix aside for 5 minutes so that the jaggery can melt a bit.
- Now add 1 cup sieved whole wheat flour, 1 tsp cardamom powder, 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda.
- Mix well.
- Finally, gradually add 1/3 cup milk and mix well to get a batter that flows off the spoon to form ribbons.
Baking the Cake
- Transfer the batter to the 7″ greased baking tin.
- Garnish with 1 tbsp finely chopped dry fruits. I used a mix of chopped pistachios, cashew bits, and slivered almonds.
- Bake at 180C for 40 minutes.
- Let the cake cool a bit and then demould while still warm.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve a slice of the Whole Wheat Jaggery Cake as a dessert or then with tea.
