Just the right recipe to lift your holiday spirits... a recipe that will probably remind you of an evening in winters sipping hot cup of tea, snuggling in your quilt and enjoying the lazy winter holiday season.
250 grams- Plain all purpose flour
3-4 drops vanila essence
1 level tsp- baking powder
1 level tsp- soda bicarbonate
1 cup- oil
1and half cup- powdered sugar
1and half cup- milk
1and half cup- pepsi/coca cola
75 grams- tutty fruity
50 grams walnut
1 inch- cinnamon stick- grounded
4-5- cardamom- grounded
Procedure:
- First on a sheet of paper through a sieve mix the flour, baking powder and soda bicarbonate.
- Run this mixture through the sieve at least 4 times so that all the dry ingredients are mixed properly
- In a deep dish or a mixing bowl pour oil, sugar and mix well. Add cinnamom and cardamom dust, vanilla essence and walnut and mix well.
- Add the sieved mixture to this bowl 1 cup at a time. Do not add the entire mixture at once, this will result in lumps... add 1 cup, if the mixture starts to dry out then add a bit of milk and pepsi and mix well.
- Repeat this process until the entire dry mix has been incorporated into the batter.... they key is to mix the batter well in good circular motion for atleast 5-7 mins to get that spongy cake...
- Pre heat over at 170 degrees, pour out the batter on the cake tin which has been well oiled and dusted in flour. Once the batter is poured out on the dish sprinkle tutty fruity on top. This way it won't get stuck to the bottom of the cake.
- Bake the dish for 40 minutes... ready to go.
Hope you enjoy eating this one as I enjoyed cooking it...
