INGREDIENTS USED

FLOUR : Cakes are generally made using all purpose flour but this cake is made with whole wheat flour. Wheat flour cakes are bit heavier and denser than the white flour cakes, but if you are looking for only & only healthy options, go no beyond wheat flour. Though, yes though having APF occasionally is of no harm.

CRANBERRIES : We wanted to make Holiday Sangria, so was looking for fresh cranberries, but alas couldn’t find. Hence bought a pack of dried cranberries. After making Sangria, few were left, so used in the cake.

JUICE : We have added canned juice which was already sweet. If you are using fresh juice or canned juice but unsweetened, then enhance the amount of sugar in the recipe.

If you get the fresh one, go ahead and note that they don’t need to be soaked in Cranberry juice initially.

SUGAR : We have used bura sugar which comes in a powdered form. If you are using granulated sugar, better to powder it first so that it get dissolved very quickly.

OIL : Use any neutral flavoured oil. Don’t use any other oil having strong pungent flavour and smell.

CORN FLOUR: This is called corn starch outside India. It is added just to give a support to the cake in standing tall. You can simply skip if don’t have.

LEAVENING AGENTS: Baking powder and baking soda make the cake soft, light and fluffy.

SALT : Just a dash of salt in any sweet recipe helps in enhancing the taste of the dish.

So come and let’s enjoy a cake that promises a guilt-free indulgence that transcends dietary boundaries.
