Egg-less Ragi Cake- healthy

 Ingredients

Ragi flr  130 gm

Whole wheat flr  110 gm

Cocoa pdr  50 gm

Bananas large  2

Vegetable oil   50 gm

Curd  100 gm

Jaggery pdr  165 gm

Baking pdr  1 ½ tsp

Baking soda  ½ tsp

Vanilla ½ tsp

salt a pinch

 

Method

In a blender add bananas, oil, curd, cocoa pdr, vanilla, jaggery pdr blend into a smooth paste

In a bowl add ragi flr, wheat flr, baking pdr, baking soda, mix well.

Add the prepared paste mix well, add mlk to get the right consistency of the batter

Pour the batter in a prepared cake tin which was greased with butter and dusted with flr

Tap the tin well, to remove air pockets

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 deg C for around 35-45 minutes, depending on your oven size, voltage etc, as I had a small oven, in which the cake would get done in 15 minutes at the most.

So, better, keep a watch when you bake goodies, as you can judge from the smell. Never open the oven door before 10 minutes, normally when you see from the glass, you can make out if the cake is done, or best  poke with a knife in the center of the cake to see if it is done, i.e., no batter is sticking to your knife.
