Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 0.75 cup Ragi Flour
- 5 Tbsp Rolled Oats
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar granulated
- 0.5 cup Cream Or Heavy Cream/Butter Blend use malai (milk cream) or a combination of ¼ cup heavy cream and ¼ cup unsalted butter., fresh
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ragi flour, and baking soda. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is pale and thick.
- Gently fold in the fresh cream (or cream/butter blend) and vanilla extract. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
- Add the rolled oats and gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at a slight angle into the center comes out clean. Inserting the toothpick at an angle prevents the cake from collapsing.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For added moisture and a subtle fruity flavor, fold in 1/2 cup of mashed ripe banana or unsweetened applesauce to the batter. This also helps naturally sweeten the cake and makes it more appealing to kids.
- If you want a nutty crunch, sprinkle a handful of chopped walnuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds on top of the batter before baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the fresh cream with coconut cream or a thick plant-based yogurt, and ensure your oats are certified gluten-free if serving someone with gluten sensitivity.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, toast the oats before grinding them into flour. This adds a depth of nuttiness to the final product.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the oats, resulting in a tougher cake. Mix until just combined.
- Adjust baking time as needed. Ovens vary, so start checking for doneness around the minimum baking time using a toothpick. It should come out clean when inserted into the center.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
