Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Semolina
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
Mix-ins
- ½ cup Tutti Frutti
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the malai, oil, and sugar.
- Whisk vigorously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture forms a smooth paste.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, semolina, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents for a consistent rise.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, along with the milk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in a tough cake.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes. This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a more tender crumb.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Preheating ensures the cake bakes evenly.
- Gently fold in the tutti frutti. Folding prevents the batter from deflating.
- Grease a loaf pan and pour in the batter.
- Sprinkle some extra tutti frutti on top and gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious, moist, and tender Eggless Malai Cake!
