STRAWBERRY CAKE

Who avoid to eat the cakes??especially kids right?? Usually with strawberries I prepare milk shakes or smoothies. But this is the first time I tried a cake using fresh berries with yogurt addition.When I thought to bake a cake with strawberries i was quite curious about the result  but surprisingly cake came out so fluffy and soft. Depending on the sugar addition cake sweetness is depended so add 1/2 cup more if you want too sweet..

MAHAS NOTES

Here I used,wheat flour.If you use all purpose flour,you need to add 1/4 cup more flour may be..

Cake batter should be in medium texture..not too thin or too thick..after mixing every thing,you can check it,it needs some technique,which you get slowly when  baking often...

Measurements are perfect and clear.oven time may be different for each one..so,keep an eye on cake..check after 30 minutes exactly, n check for each 10 minutes..

Dusting cake tin/glass bowl with flour is important for a perfect shaped cake...

If the orange juice(which you use to soak dry fruits n nuts) is thick and sweet in taste,adjust the sugar quantity..you can brown sugar also.

Happy sunday every one...Today Iam sharing a simple chocolate cake recipe with you all.It is egg free and butter free.. Chocolate cakes are every one`s favorite,even I also loves to have a big rich cake slice any time.. After schooling my two kids also started loving chocolate cakes and asking me to bake every time.. Almost 4 days in a week I sends chocolate cake slice,with juice bottle and biscuits...I was tired to send with that regular items,but they never complaints me.Whenever I send new snacks to introduce simply they brought  box back as it is. It`s difficult to attract/satisfy kids.. Isn`t it..Last few days back we three tempted to have a cake.While searching in fridge,came to know that there was no eggs.So,searched for eggless cake and got this wonderful recipe..Most of the people loves moist and gooey chocolate cakes I think,But this is very spongy and fluffy..I was admired with the result and cake was so soft and perfectly baked with aromatic cocoa smell..I decided to save this recipe to bake whenever I don`t have eggs in hand..Yes..It may sounds weird I f I says that I never book marks cakes recipes and tries to bake every time new varities,but this is going to be sit in cook-book definitely. we people don't have any issues with eggs,but those who are allergic to eggs can try this with full of smiles. Try this next time and enjoy each bite..

Egg free butter free orange cake with fresh orange juice and condensed milk/step by step pictures/Egg less orange cake with chocolate frosting/

I already posted orange cake around 2 years back.But,It is not my favorite,even my two little naughties also don`t likes it very much.They prefers only chocolate cakes.(Demons)  But we people blessed with lots of oranges here in foz.So,obviously,orange juice is a common drink at my home every day in the evening.,As usual i prepared a big jar orange juice few days back and after drinking up remained around a cup of juice.To use that left over juice I tried this orange cake and routine chocolate cake in the same day..It is an egg less and butter less version,and for more healthy,you can also replace all purpose flour with wheat flour,but add 1-2 tbsp extra orange juice to balance the batter consistency.Condensed milk gives a good sweet taste in this cake,but still you can use sugar in place of that if you want.The aroma of the cake was so good with orange flavor and I skipped orange zest.Yup..That`s called laziness...

Actually Iam very poor in decorating cakes.But,this time i was in mood to decorate.So, took some chocolate chips and melted them.After frosting well refrigerated fro some time.finally on top of the cake and sprinkled some color shaves.Here is the complete recipe with pictures.check it and try it..

Ingredients

all purpose flour-1 1/4 cups

condensed milk-3/4 cup
oil-4 tbsp

baking powder- 1 1/2 tsp

baking soda-1/2 tsp

orange juice-1/4 cup

orange zest-1 tsp
milk-1/4 cup
sugar-1/4 cup
any flavored jam-1 tsp

Preparation

1.preheat the to 180 degree C..apply oil or butter to the baking tin and dust it with flour. or place equal size of butter paper and apply oil on it.

2.add oil,milk,orange juice,sugar,condensed milk and orange zest in a bowl.mix well.

3.add in flour,baking powder,jam and soda and mix well.

4.finally add fistful of tutti frutti and fold together well.pour this batter in baking tin and bake for 30-40min.

5.to check insert a knife and if it comes out clean then the cake is ready to remove.

6.cool it on a wire rack for some time.slice and serve........

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

In a bowl take 1 cup of chocolate chips.Add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp milk to it.In double boiler method melt it completely.Wait until it reaches to room temperature. then frost on cool cake.Sprinkle some shaves on top and refrigerate for few minutes and serve.

MAHAS NOTES

If you want you can add any of your favorite nuts too.Replace APF with wheat flour for healthy version.

Replace sugar with condensed mil with same quantity.

You can use butter in the place of oil.

Vanilla is allowed in this,but I don`t have that in kitchen.

Adding jam is optional.But gives a good taste.
