With preparations for Ganesh Chaturthi in full swing, how about exploring something new to celebrate! The kids will especially love it! 🙂
Using the same ingredients that we would normally use in making traditional sweets…anaaj, gur, ghee….let’s make a delicious indulgent eggless cake that is sure to wow one and all!
Presenting Eggless Ginger Gur Cake!
Inspiration: Rashmi Pawe
Method:
Take 1 cup Jaggery/Gur and crumble it
Also take 3/4 cup ghee/butter
And 1 cup buttermilk/yoghurt
Also take 1 cup atta + 1 cup maida and sieve it with 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 3 tsp ginger pwdr.
Melt gur with 1/4 cup water on medium low.
Cook till it becomes foamy. Add ghee to the mix.
Now add the flour mix to the hot syrupy gur, a tbsp at a time, alternating with the buttermilk/yoghurt till all the ingredients are mixed together to form a smooth batter. At this stage the batter will be slightly sticky and stiff. Add 1/4 cup water to loosen it.
Pour into prepared cake tin. Shake tin to distribute batter evenly and remove air bubbles. Sprinkle with any topping you like…candied ginger, sugar crystals, nuts or if you are feeling a little adventurous…even a light sprinkle of sea salt!
Bake in a 350F oven for 45 minutes. Insert knife…to check that it come outs clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Transfer to serving platter, ready to eat…Mmmmm..enjoy the devine taste and delicious aroma! 🙂
