P.S:

I have used homemade whole wheat flour.

The softness and density depend on the flour and the number of times you sieve.The cake was extremely soft and porous.I expected it to be dense as I skipped maida/APF.But to my surprise, it just melted in the mouth.The more you sieve the softer and fluffy the cake would be when you don’t use maida or refined flours.

You can use powdered palm sugar or palm jaggery instead of jaggery.There may be a difference in colour.

The colour might differ due to lighting effects and my poor photography skills.

Ensure the curd/ yoghurt is fresh and not sour.

You can use walnuts or chopped badams instead of cashews.

Wait for at least an hour before slicing the cake.

Go through the manual to fix the preheat temperature and timings.

The timing might vary from 25-40 minutes depending on the oven used and tray used.Have a check using a toothpick after 25 minutes.

I used rolex brand baking pan measuring 19 cm*4.8 cm(heart shaped).The quantity specified was exactly perfect enough to hold the cake after baking.

Using a wet cloth to wrap the tray after taking out of OTG helps in getting the cake out clean and perfect.

Dip the knife in hot water to slice the cake perfectly.

Sieving the dry ingredients is a major step which prevents disasters.

I used gingelly oil.

The colour is pure because of the jaggery colour.

You can also top it with any nuts of your choice.

It stays good for 3 days at room temperature and 5 days in the refrigerator

Be generous in using butter to grease the pan.

The same cake can be made in a pressure cooker.Please check the steps in my wholegrain cake and oats banana cake recipes

This can be offered to babies above 1 year.

For babies below one year replace jaggery with homemade dates syrup
