This is indeed a simplest of all cakes and unfortunately very uncommon cake recipe. You will hardly find people making it but believe us, once you try it, you are gonna fall in love with it.

In the category of tea time cakes, this is one of the cake bread which our entire family loved to the core. And if you go by the list of ingredients, that is going to amaze you more for its simplicity. Here it goes :

FLOUR : To make this recipe a healthy treat for each one, we have only used whole wheat flour and said no to all purpose flour i.e. maida. However it is always a personal choice to pick one amongst the two.

FENNEL:  Fennel, which is called Sounf in Hindi and it is something very commonly used in Indian kitchens, especially for adding unique flavour and aroma to food, be it curries, rice dishes, sweet dishes and snacks. It adds a slightly sweet, licorice-like flavor.

It comes in a seeds form and powder as well. In the present recipe, we have added both types of fennel.

CURD : As this cake recipe is eggless, so curd is the best substitute of eggs in cakes. Here, the curd should be fresh, not sore and must be at room temperature.

MILK :Milk should also be at room temperature and prefer to go for full fat one.

MILK POWDER: Milk powder will add the richness in the cake so not to skip it.

SUGAR : sweetness to the cake is being provided through the sugar. Here too, you have multiple choices. We have used Khandsari sugar but you can opt for regular sugar, brown sugar, crushed jaggery or jaggery powder as well.

OIL : Use any oil which is unflavoured and without aroma. In place of oil, feel free to use butter or desi ghee.

BAKING POWDER/SODA : These are the Leavening agents help in making the cake soft and fluffy.
