Happy Easter to all who celebrate it.
So on this festival , why not make some easy and different cake for the loved ones. This cake is so easy, open up your Gits Gulab Jamun mix, add the other necessary ingredients in it and bake it and you will have yummy cake ready. I put sliced almonds on top but you can do good icing and take it to the whole new level.
I made it twice, once without egg and one with egg, without egg was very dry and was not happy with the outcome so next time made it with egg and it was soft and really good tasting . So I am going to share recipe with egg only.
Ingredients :
1 Packet Gulab Jamun Mix 1/4 cup Whole wheat flour 1/4 cup All purpose flour3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup Milk
2 tbsp. canola oil 1 tbsp. Butter -
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1 Egg - whisked and ready 1 tsp Cardamom powder
8 to 10 Saffron strands
Almonds to sprinkle over top.
2 tbsp. canola oil 1 tbsp. Butter -
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1 Egg - whisked and ready 1 tsp Cardamom powder
8 to 10 Saffron strands
Almonds to sprinkle over top.
Method:
In a bowl, Sift whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl till you get all mix up.
Preheat the oven at 350 F / 180 C.
Now add the Gulabjamun mix to the sifted flour mixture and mix well and sift.
Heat 3/4 cup milk, when it is heated up, add sugar powder, cardamom powder and saffron strands. Mix it till sugar dissolves completely.
Now add oil, butter and mix evenly with wire whisk.
Add egg in liquid batter, make sure your milk is not to hot otherwise egg will scramble.
Finally add flour mixture to this liquid mixture and fold gently. There should be no lumps.
Pour the batter in a greased tin , decorate it with almonds and bake in a preheated oven at 350 F / 180°c for 30 minutes approx.
You can make it without the egg also , just skip the egg and follow the rest of the recipe. But results are not that good.
