I had been trying to bake cake since I bought microwave.. But it wasn't successful attempt.. Infact couple of times it turned out as hard as cookies and poor ajoy had to suffer.. Now today that my mom and dad were coming I thought I might experiment cake on them.. :) But this time it came out well and I was surprised because ingredients used were same. Later when I was talking to Mom I came to know the reason. Here is how I prepared it
Ingredients
1 cup maida
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
20 Dates seeds removed
1 spoon baking powder
Nuts to garnish
Method
- Grind milk, dates and sugar well to form the paste
- Mix oil to the above paste
- Sieve together maida and baking powder atleast 2-3 times
- Mix sieved maida and baking powder spoon full at a time with the paste formed.
- Grease the microwave safe pan with oil and put in butter paper at bottom
- Add the above formed mixture to the pan
- Garnish it with nuts
- Preheat microwave to 200C
- Bake the cake by keeping pan on the lower rack and in Microwave convection mode - 200C, 180W, 20min
Notes
Sieving maida and baking powder together is must, infact I didn't know this earlier and thats the reason cake turned out to be cookie
You might want to keep dates and milk mixed together say overnight so that its easy to grind it. (I am always impatient so I just grind it and its sometimes very difficult)
I have samsung 108STF model of microwave. Cooking temperature and power depends on the microwave. You might need to experiment on that little to get the perfect result for you
