Friends, I think you have noticed that I did not post any baked item in my blog so far because I was not having OTG in my home.Yesterday My hubby brought a new OTG for me seeing my passion for cooking.. It was really a pleasant surprise for me.Today morning I thought of inaugurating that by preparing any dish on that and so I started with making the simplest form of a cake using available ingredients left in my kitchen as I couldn't resist myself anymore from trying my culinary experiments on that. I usually make this type of cake in pressure cooker but it came out so nice in OTG that I got impressed by its spongy look and lovely taste and I succeeded in giving my hubby the first oven baked cake. He loved it very much. So this recipe is definitely dedicated to my dear hubby. Thanks a lot dear .. Happy Valentines day.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour 1 cup
Sugar 1/2 cup
Cocoa powder 2 tsp
Baking powder 1tsp
Butter 3 tbsp
Eggs 2
Milk 1/2 cup
Vanilla essence 1 tsp
Raisins 20 gms
Cashew 20 gms
Almond 20 gms
Method:
1.In a large bowl beat melted butter and sugar together with a wire whisk until it become light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs and beat continuously.
3.Mix Flour, baking powder and Cocoa powder together and add to the butter, sugar and egg mixture and mix thoroughly in one direction so as to
avoid formation of air bubbles.Add some milk in small amount to make it smooth batter.
4. Add vanilla essence and again mix thoroughly.
5 Grease the baking pan with butter and pour the mixture into it. Spread dry fruits (cashew, almond and raisins) on the top.
6 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Now bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake for 10 minutes before inverting on to a serving tray. Decorate it with chocolate frosting it or chocolate syrup.
