It was my Hubby's Birthday and I wanted to try something different from the usual vanilla sponge cake and Pineapple cup cakes.
Very simple, the taste of Green Cardamom is really good plus the essence of lemon in it.
This cake is light , fluffy and good in Taste with less sugar in it.
Ingredients:
1. Maida 1 cup
2. Corn Flour 3 Tablespoon
3. Baking Powder 1 teaspoon
4. Baking Soda 1/2 teaspoon
5. Coco Powder 1 teaspoon(optional)
6. Lemon Juice 1 1/2 tsp
7. Green Cardamom Powder 1/2 tsp + a pinch
8. Milkmaid 1/2 tin
9. Water 1/4 cup
10. Butter 50gms
11. Sugar 1/4 cup (Less or more depends on your taste ) Powdered
Method:
Preheat the oven at 180c for 40 mins. 10 mins for preheating and 30 mins baking.
Please have a look at the mode whether the cake will be cooked from top and bottom, only from top or only from bottom.
For the first 10-15 mins the cake should be baked from both the ends and in the final 10-15 mins from bottom alone.
This will help you to get a cake which is not burnt from the top.
Grease a 7 inch tin with butter and sprinkle little maida .
1. Sieve the maida, cornflour , baking soda, baking powder and coco powder twice. Set aside.
2. Now take butter in a bowl add in the powdered sugar. Using a electric blender , blend it until you get the creamy texture of the butter. Don't over beat.
3. Now add in the milkmaid, lemon juice and green cardamom powder. Beat it once so that all ingredients are mixed evenly.
4. Now add the dry ingredients( Maida, cornflour, baking....) little by little at a time. At a point the batter will become tight . After you add the dry ingredients fully add the 1/4 cup of water . You will
attain a batter of dropping consistency.
5. Add the batter to the tin. Tap the tin so that the batter is evenly distributed.
Place the tin in the oven . The time in the oven now is 30 mins.
After 10-15 mins turn the mode , so the cake is cooked from the bottom alone and set the temperature to 150c .
After 25 mins have a look at the cake . Take a tooth pick insert it at the center of the cake . If the stick comes out clean without any batter to it, your cake is ready.
Garnish it with cherries and dust powdered sugar if required.
If you feel the flavour of Green Cardamom is less you can adjust it according to your taste. Taste the batter before you pour it into the tin. Adjust the sugar according to your taste.
