A soft and light cake. Let's start step by step vegan jaggery cake recipe with step by step photos.
Ingredients :
Wheat Flour - 1.5 cups
Jaggery - 3/4 cup - Powdered (You can use 1 cup for more sweetness)
Baking Powder - 2 tsp
Table Salt - A very small pinch
Cashew Nuts - 1 tbsp
Raisins - 1/2 tbsp Water - 1 cup (Use milk for a non - vegan version)
Vegetable Oil - 7 tbsp
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
7 inch round cake tin
Vegetable Oil - 1/2 tsp (For greasing the cake tin)
Wheat Flour - 1 tsp (For dusting the cake tin)
Preparation Method :
1. Grease a cake tin with little bit oil evenly on the base and edges of the tin and also dust the inside of the tin with a little flour to help the cake can come outside smoothly from cake tin and not burn also.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F for 10 minutes.
3. Dissolve jaggery in water and strain the liquid through a sieve. Mix in the vanilla extract. Keep it aside.
4. Sift Wheat flour, salt, baking powder through a sieve at least 2 times.
5. Once sifted, mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly using a spoon. This is just to ensure the salt, baking powder are evenly distributed through the wheat flour.
6. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water, jaggery and vanilla essence, that was prepared in step 3.
7. Gently bind the ingredients with a spoon. Please don't use any whisk or beater for this. Over beating will make your cake very dense and heavy.
8. Next add in the oil. Again combine the mixture gently. The batter might form a few clumps.
9. Pour this batter into the prepared cake tin. Tap the cake tin on the counter to ensure the batter levels out. I added cashew nuts and raisins on top of the batter as a flower design.
10. Put this into the pre-heated oven and bake at 180°C / 350°F for 20-25 minutes or bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean...
(The baking time depends on the oven. Mine took just 24 minutes to bake. So you need to start keeping an eye on the cake after 15 minutes.)
11. After the baking time is over, allow the cake to cool down completely.
12. You can cut and serve this cake with tea or coffee.

DeleteHello, Congratulations on your 200th recipe. I have always wondered if we could use jaggery for baking. Your cake looks lovely. If i have to use the regular baking powder instead of double acting one, then how much should i add?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sujatha Srinivasan
Thank you so much Sujata. .For regular baking you can use the same quantity of baking powder that is 2 tsp only for the same quantity which I have mentioned in my recipe..
DeleteWow awesome you.. thanks for the recipe. I tried this today and came out really well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mathangi, happy to heard that you tried my recipe and liked it :)
DeleteI made this cake. Amazimg texture but the taste is less sweet maybe 1 additional cup of jaggery shud be mandatory not optional. Otherwise i taste atta. Rest its perfect
ReplyDeleteThanks sonam for tred and appreciate ur feedback !!
DeleteHi,made this cake it came out very nice and is super soft....but why is it leaving a bitter taste at end.(I had added cinnamon powder a pinch to the batter).
ReplyDeleteHi kavitha, that's great you liked the cake..really appreciate !!
Deletelet's come to your query, I didn't use cinnamon in my cake..cinnamon never goes well with jaggery, cinnamon has a very strong spiced which is not easily bind up with many ingredients..if you used brown sugar with cinnamon, u never feel bitterness..I hope you'll more clear now with my answer !!
thanks again :) :)
