First time used chick pea flour in baking...I was so curious to taste the cake while preparing the batter itself.The recipe is simple same like my other recipes,it is butter less..I used olive oil,but you can use coconut oil or softened butter too.While taking pictures,canon battery was down..So,missed the pictures to take inside texture..
Though I got a perfect texture,honestly speaking I did n`t liked the smell of the cake..I think it`s better to dry roast the flour before adding in the batter..Except the flour smell,the cake is soft in texture and fluffy too.If you love experiments then try this cake or instead of white flour better to use besan flour like this in cakes..Next time try it and enjoy the new taste.
