EGGLESS YOGURT CAKE



An Eggless Yogurt Cake.... dedicated to HER.... she is beautiful, poised, innocent yet diligent, soft natured but firm on her decisions, fiercely independent,,, economically and otherwise ..... she is the woman  of the 21st century. I very much miss a daughter in my life. I remember, when I was carrying both of us even fixed individual name for her. My senior did not like the name I selected and vice versa. Perhaps, to restore peace at home, we were gifted with a prince. Had I have a girl child, I definitely would love to see her as this.... an independent, confident human being with values. I am not so much of a feminist. I have seen, experienced that women get wild to  women more instead of been a support . Each one of us needs to be a humanist first, it is how we behave with others that makes us what we are. I have experienced abusive attack on my self respect from both genders, though very few in number. What is required is to handle it firmly without been abusive in return, that we fail to learn. For that proper personality development is required. Hence sincerely wish this generation kids  be able to handle any kind of abuse firmly. I do not understand why we have to be abusive when been decent does not cost a penny.

I like preparing eggless cakes considering many in our country are vegetarian. This time I had a lot of yogurt in the refrigerator. So planned for an Eggless Yogurt Cake. Since I am a learner baker, I do explore through Google for the right measurement. Day before yesterday, while I was looking for an Eggless Yogurt Cake, I came across this yogurt cake recipe of Bhaktin Christina at an Iskcon vegetarian food site and liked it. Without looking for more options I went ahead with her recipe. The topping idea with nutella and a store bought icing is mine. I was in a jiffy and so left the idea of preparing my own icing. You can always prepare a topping of your own. Come let us prepare together an easy to make Eggless Yogurt Cake.

Refined Flour : 1medium cup
Whole Wheat Flour : 1/2 medium cup
Sugar : 1/4medium cup
Condensed Milk : 1/2medium cup
Plain Yogurt : 1medium cup
Baking Soda : 1/4tsp

INGREDIENTS : [for the topping]
Nutella Spread : 50gm
Rose Flavoured Icing : I used about 150-180 gm of a 227gm tube

METHOD :
Preheat oven to 200*C.

Take the refined flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon powder, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl and mix thoroughly with no lumps remaining.

In another bowl take the yogurt and beat well. Add sugar, beat further till the sugar melts. Add the oil and beat till everything is incorporated very well.

Add the flour mix little by little and mix well. Add 1tsp vanilla essence and fold in well. Pour into cake tin. I used greased aluminium foil this time. The batter look as below.




Place inside the oven keeping it on the stand. It looks as below.



Bake first 10 minutes at 200*C and then for 25-30 minutes at 180*C. The time may differ depending on your oven. So please check that.

Once done, let it cool and transfer to a plate. Use topping of your choice or have it plain. I used a nutella topping with a store bought rose flavoured icing as in the picture below.



Enjoy once you are done.....
