Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ¼ cup Amaranth Flour
- ½ cup Milk Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Chocolate grated, white
- ¼ cup Sugar brown
- ½ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Oil
- ½ tsp Pineapple Essence
Topping
- 8 Almonds blanched
Instructions
- Sift the dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, amaranth flour, milk powder, baking powder, and baking soda) together 3-4 times. This creates a light and airy texture by incorporating air into the flour.
- Melt the grated white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the brown sugar in the milk.
- Add the pineapple essence and oil to the milk mixture. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Pour the melted white chocolate into the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough cake.
- Grease and flour a baking pan. This prevents the cake from sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the blanched almonds on top.
- Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. This allows the cake to set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Blanch almonds by placing them in boiling water for exactly one minute. Drain immediately to prevent softening.
- For added texture and nutrition, incorporate chopped toasted nuts like walnuts or almonds just before baking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk powder with a plant-based alternative and use vegan white chocolate.
- Enhance the pineapple flavor by adding diced dried pineapple or a swirl of pineapple jam to the batter.
Expert Tips
- Toasting the millet and amaranth flour before combining with the wet ingredients can enhance their nutty flavor and create a more complex profile.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for a smooth, even batter and optimal rise.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
Storage Instructions
- This cake remains moist for several days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For longer storage, slice and freeze individual portions. Reheat gently in the microwave or toaster oven when ready to serve.
