Jowar Jaggery Cake came as a pleasant surprise to me! I had not expected it to turn out so good. Out of all the variations of a Healthy Banana cake, I can say this one turned out to be the best for sure. Beauty of Jowar is that it almost rises like whole wheat and that is quite a boost.
Second good thing is the taste of the batter, I kept it more sweet just to overpower its earthiness and it worked just fine. The moment I had the first bite I felt like giving myself a pat. ha ha . Well if you have followed my other baking recipes, you would realise that mostly the proportions are similar. This in turn helped me crack the code of making these healthy bakes.
While making these cakes with healthy flours and sweetners, I make sure that sifting is done more than 3 times. That adds more air too and refines the flour as well. Jowar however rises well so with added sifting it just comes out nice together. I did not use cinnamon powder but adding that would give you another level of taste. So let’s go to the recipe and hope you enjoy making these Jowar Jaggery Cake.
Jowar Jaggery Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jowar Flour
- 3/4 cup Jaggery Powder
- 1/4 cup Oil/Ghee
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Essence
- 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp Choco Chips
- 1 1/2 Ripe Banana
Instructions
First thing first, lets sift all the dry ingredients atleast 4 times. So mix jowar flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt together and sift. Put the over on preheat at this time.
Next in another deep bowl mash the bananas, add jaggery powder, vanilla essence and oil/ghee and mix it well, till all are uniformly mixed together. Prepare the baking tin with either a parchment paper or greasing and dusting it with the flour.
Gradually mix the sifted flour one tbsp at time as you fold all of it together with a spatula. This part is important if you want the cake to rise well.
It might get till thick so add milk 1 tbsp at a time too to make it easy enough to fold in together.
Remember not to over do the folding too, at the end add all the walnuts and fold it too.
Pour the batter in the tray and tap it to evenly distribute and bake it for 30 mins at 180 degrees. After 30 mins, do a toothpick test and if it comes clean let the cake rest in over for another 15 mins, otherwise bake for another 5 mins.
After you take if out from the over , let it cool down more before you cut it into small bite size pieces.
Nice! But how many grams or oz is the final product or one serving?
How to make same cake for 8 people? All Ingredients portions go twice as much?
