Cakes are a favourite at my place, both my daughters just love to eat cakes. Though I usually make maida cakes for occasions but I do try to make whole wheat cakes for consumption at home as I know the two little ones at home are going to gobble up the whole cake.
I was a little skeptical at trying whole wheat cakes but I luckily chanced upon the group Ovenderful Mom Bakers Community (OMBC) and that is where I got to know that we can bake a lot of healthy stuff using various healthy flours.
Luckily for me, my daughters enjoy the cakes baked with whole wheat flour as much as the maida (all purpose flour) ones. I'll surely try to substitute all purpose flour with whole wheat flour in more recipes that I'm going try and will share them with all of you.
This one is a simple Tutti Frutti cake that I've made with whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour cakes are usually a bit dense than the all purpose flour cakes.
While making whole wheat cakes remember to sieve your dry ingredients really well, like for maida cakes I sieve them 2-3 times but for whole wheat cakes I sieve the dry ingredients 6-7 times.
Do not over mix the batter just combine till the time the wet and dry ingredients come together.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 table spoons butter
1/2 cup tutti frutti
3/4 cup milk
2 tea spoons baking powder
1 tea spoon baking soda
2 tea spoons vanilla essence
2 table spoons whole wheat flour to dust the tutti frutti
The eggs are missing in the picture.
METHOD
1. Sieve the whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda 6-7 times. Keep aside.
2. Sprinkle the 2 table spoons whole wheat flour over the tutti frutti so that they are coated nicely.
3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line a 6 or 7 inch baking tin and keep aside.
4. Add butter to powdered sugar and mix lightly till it resembles a bread crumb texture.
5. Add the eggs one by one and mix well.
6. Add the milk and vanilla essence and mix well.
7. Now add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix till the dry and wet ingredients come together. Do not over mix.
8. Add the dusted tutti frutti to the cake batter. Keep some aside to sprinkle on the top.
9. Pour the batter in the greased and lined cake tin.
10. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 30 - 35 minutes. After 30 minutes check with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean the cake is done, if not keep it for another 5 - 10 minutes.
