Here is a healthy and easy semolina cake made with olive oil and organic jaggery. The lemon juice and zest add a lovely flavour to the cake. Because I have used organic jaggery the cake has a brown look. If you like to use normal sugar you can do that and you will have a light coloured cake. Any which way the cake is really delectable and you are surely going to love it.
Ingredients:
Semolina ............. 1 cup
Milk ................... 1/2 cup
Yogurt ............... 1/2 cup
Sugar ................. 1/2 cup (I have used organic jaggery)
Tutti Frutti ........ 1/2 cup
Olive oil ............ 1/4 cup
Baking powder ... 3/4 tsp
Baking soda ........ 1/4 tsp
Salt .................... 1 pinch
Lemon zest ........ 1/4 tsp
Lemon juice ...... 2 tbsps
Vanilla essence ... few drops
Method:
1. In a large bowl mix the semolina, milk, yogurt,sugar and oil.
2. Cover and set it aside for 15 minutes.
3. Now add the remaining ingredients and stir well until everything is mixed.
4. If the consistency is a bit thick you can add little more milk.
5. Coat the tutti frutti with some flour and mix them in the batter stirring lightly in one direction.
6. Transfer the batter into a greased baking tin of any shape.
7. Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 200 C for 50 to 55 mins or until done.
8. The time may vary a little depending on the type of oven and the size of the baking tin. Keep a check and insert a toothpick to check if it is done.
Note:
1. You can also use butter instead of olive oil.
2. Normal sugar can be used instead of organic jaggery to get the light coloured cake.
3. You can also use any dry fruits instead of tutti frutti.
