Eggless Semolina Cake Recipe
Method:
Pre-heat the oven at 350 degrees F or 170 degrees C. Grease the cake tin with little ghee and then dust with little flour and keep it ready
Take the milk and rava in a mixing bowl and stir them well and keep it aside for 10 minutes. In another mixing bowl, take the dry ingredients such as all purpose flour, baking powder, baking salt, salt and sugar and mix well so that all are well combined
After 10 minutes, add the dry ingredients little by little to the milk+rava mixture and mix well. The cake batter should be like a pouring consistency. If the batter is so thick, add little water and make it pourable. Add butter to the cake batter and mix well
Now, add vanilla essence and chopped nuts and fold everything together gently.
Pour the cake batter to the greased cake tin and gently pat to spread it evenly. Put the cake tin in the pre-heated oven and bake it for 30 minutes or till the skewer/tooth pick comes out clean. After 30 minutes, take the cake tin out and place it in a cooling rack and allow it to completely cool off
After the cake is cooled off, slowly run through the knife on the edges of the cake and take the cake out of the tin gently. We can just flip the cake tin on another plate to gently take the cake out. Cut the cake into pieces either square or pie shaped pieces and plate it in serving plate
The yummy and spongy Eggless Semolina Cake is now ready to serve!
Great recipe thanks, the whole family enjoyed eating it, I made it with kids. I didn't have walnuts so I added sultanas/cashews, however id like to try with nuts as per recipe. Great to find a semolina cake that doesn't contain loads of sugar/syrup
does this taste similar to kesari?
Kesari taste is entirely different from this cake
No
Please let me know how we can improvise it to make it in a pressure cooker.

Hi, I have used unsalted buter,but we can surely alternate that with pure cow ghee too.
Can I replace butter with sunflower oil or corn oil? How much amount?
Yes you can very well replace with oil. Use the same quantity of butter
Y did the sooji not cook or puff up entirely
