EGGLESS DATE CUP CAKE


Over the weekends I try my hands at simple bakes which are quick and hassle free. My junior loves simply baked, plain cakes. He is having summer holidays, so I need to stock more of "tukitaki", meaning titbits for him. If its cake, then it goes well as our week end tea time snack too. The past few days had been too busy for different reasons, and the coming week too will be. Hence, I am really in short of time to concentrate, sit and write a recipe nicely. It is the start of a weekend, I thought of sharing an easy and quick cup cake recipe that I made with dates which usually I store for making chutney mainly. These Eggless Date Cup Cakes were made a couple of weeks back. I was browsing through cup cake recipes at All Recipes.com and came across a simple date cup cake recipe. The basic idea is drawn from there but I have done it my own way, further simplifying the process. Let us do the very simple Eggless Date Cup Cake together.



INGREDIENTS :

Refined Flour : 1big cup [alternatively wholewheat]
Baking Soda : 1/4 tsp
Baking Powder : 1/2 tsp
 Dates : 10-12[deseeded]
Plain Yogurt : 1 small cup
Milk : 1 small cup
 Oil : 5-6 tbsp
Butter : 2tbsp [optional]
Sugar : 3-4 tbsp
Vanilla Essence : 1tsp
Vinegar : 1 tsp

 METHOD :


I preheated my convection mode oven to 160*C, placing the low height wired stool inside.

Wash, deseed the dates. In a bowl, take the refined flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix well.

In the blender, take the dates, sugar, butter and oil, yogurt, milk and blend for 2-3 minutes.

Add the paste and the vanilla essence to the flour mix and whisk slowly. 

Our batter is ready. Initially, I skipped the milk but latter I required to add it.

Now we will pour the batter into the aluminium foil cups or in the cup cake tin directly greasing lightly with oil. 

I baked it at 160*C for 15-16minutes. 

You have to select a time depending on the machine. I would suggest to check inserting a fork after 15- 16 minutes. It should be done in 20 minutes.

Enjoy the cup cakes with your choice of beverage.
