Recipe Text

Ingredients:

  • Maida – 70gms

  • Baking Powder – 1 Level Teaspoon

  • Baking Soda – 1/4 Level Tea spoon

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk – 100gms

  • Melted Butter – 30ml

  • Vanilla Essence – 1/2tsp

  • Water – 50gms (1/4Cup)

(Online Conversion utility to convert Gms to Cups & Temperatures etc)

Preparations:

Preheat oven at 200oC in convection mode. Place a sieve in a bowl & add maida, baking powder and baking soda. Sift all these dry ingredients to mix well. Take a cake tin (small) and smear ghee on the sides and bottom of the tin. Sprinkle some maida in this prepared cake tin and tap it turning to coat it. The maida gets stuck to the ghee and works like a butter paper.

Method:

In a mixing bowl add sweetened condensed milk, essence, melted butter, sifted dry ingredients and water. Mix all well till there are no lumps and the batter is smooth. Pour this cake batter in the prepared cake tin and place this tin in the preheated oven. Bake the cake at 200oC in convection mode for 25 minutes. Temperature and timings differ from oven to oven. So keep watching while baking. To test the doneness of the cake, insert a tooth-pick in the cake. If the tooth-pick comes out clean then the cake is done. If some batter sticks to the tooth-pick then bake the cake for some more time. Here it took me 22 minutes to bake the cake. When the cake is done remove the tin from oven. After 2 minutes, turn the cake on to a wire rack and cool completely before icing it.

Icing:

Ingredients:

  • Powdered Sugar – 100gms

  • Corn Flour – 4gms (1 Level Teaspoon)

  • Unsalted Butter – 55gms

  • Vanilla Essence – 1/2tsp

Method:

Place a fine sieve in a bowl and add powdered sugar and corn flour. Sift the two ingredients to mix well. The icing for this cake should be smooth so remove any granules in the powdered sugar by sifting through a fine sieve. Measure 85gms of the prepared icing sugar and keep it aside. In a bowl take unsalted butter which is at room temperature. Beat with a spoon to make it soft and creamy. Do not warm the butter to soften. When the butter is creamy add icing sugar little by little and mix. Slowly add the icing sugar to the butter. When all the icing sugar is incorporated into the butter mixture add essence and mix well. The icing is ready to decorate the cake.

Cake Decoration:

The prepared icing may be spread on the cake and smoothened to decorate the cake. To make it more attractive use icing syringe, with different nozzles. Fill the syringe with the icing and fix a nozzle of your choice and pipe it along the border of the cake. The icing forms a decorative lace to the cake. Further garnishing with cherries makes the cakes look and taste more attractive. Serve the eggless cake to your family members.

Points to Remember:

Bake the cake in convection mode only when using aluminum tin.

Greasing & dusting the cake tin will make the baked cake detach from the tin.

See that there are no lumps in the cake batter.

Keep a watch while baking as temperature and timings differ from oven to oven.

Use unsalted butter which is kept at room temperature.

To prepare soft icing sift the powdered sugar to remove any granules left in it.

Add icing sugar to the creamy butter little by little. For a firm icing add some more icing sugar (around 115gms).

Decorate the cake using icing and enjoy the fresh, fluffy and tasty eggless cake.

Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHALINI MITTAL Garu,

It seems you are very much upset about the cakes outcomes.

I hope you are following the exact measurements as suggested by me in the videos. Apart from this the following two tips may also be helpful to you

Try to use ingredients which are from recent packs, especially Maida, Baking Soda and Baking Powder

Often while experimenting we tend to prepare with small quantity and put it into a large baking tin!!! This turns out flat crispy cookies.

Choose the right volume tin so that the mix should occupy 3/4 of its capacity

Dear Gayatri

1 cup in your recipes is 100 ml right? Please clarify.

Thanks

Gayatri Vantillu said...

Dear Carol,

By default 1 cup is equal to 200 ml cup in my recipes. However if I mention 100 ml cup it means half cup of 200 ml

Ratna Devi Garu,

Thanks for your feedback.

Steel vessels can be used in convection mode. In fact I showed them in my banana cup cakes. Remember not to use the cake mode option in which micorwave also comes to be used.

Gayatri Vantillu said...

Bindu Garu,

Measurements in cups and spoons are never same, because depending upon the cup sizes and how much we pack, the quantities differ. Therefore I suggest my viewers to have a small kitchen weighing scale for surely succeeding in making the recipes. Kindly visit my kitchen aids videos where I have discussed more.

However for a rough idea you my use the online conversion provided on the right hand column of the recipe page

Hello Gayatrigaru,

Excellent recipes.

Thank you for having the recipes in English as well because I am sure that many people who don't follow Telugu can get extra tips by reading the Engligh version. In my case, I am married to an Andhraite but I am from Kerala and dont really follow Telugu.

I visit your website regularly. Hope I can impress my in-laws when they visit (we are in US).
