Ultra- Moist Cake

It's been a while since I have blogged and I definitely missed it. So now that I have finally got time to start over once again, I thought to myself, why not start with something sweet and also something which is comfortable. Since my lil champ has started his play group now, every now and then there is demand for cake. And this is one recipe I love not only because of its simplicity and ease, but also because it is super delicious. It is ultra moist, super soft, not overly sweet but yet super chocolatey. It's everything a cake should be. I found this on Maria's Menu and the first time when I tried it, I wasn't sure about it, given the simplicity of the recipe and simple ingredients. But I was super happy to have a cake true to its name; Ultra Moist chocolate cake it is!! This is also a beginners cake, I say so simply because its that easy to bring in all the ingredients together and you will for sure get a delicious moist cake. 
Enjoy baking this and let me know how it went for you. Step by step pictures and video uploaded below the recipe.

Look out for Notes: (**)
Ingredients:
  • Milk-1 ½ cups (1 cup = 250 ml)
  • Unsalted Butter-100 gm
  • Oil-1/4th cup (normal cooking oil)
  • Cocoa powder- 1/2 cup
  • All purpose flour (Maida) - 1 Cup
  • Baking Powder-1 ½ tsp
  • Egg-1 Beaten, room temperature
  • Baking soda-1/2 tsp
  • Caster Sugar-1 cup/250 gm **
Method:
  1. Pre-heat the oven at 180 ℃/ 350 F, 10 mins before baking. **
  2. Heat together milk, butter, oil and cocoa powder till the butter melts and everything is combined
  3. Let it cool to room temperature. 
  4. Meanwhile, Take another bowl and add all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, beaten egg and sugar together
  5. Into this add the cooled wet ingredients which is kept aside. 
  6. Beat it well with electric mixture or hand whisk till it is mixed well. 
  7. Line your cake tin with parchment/baking paper or grease it well with butter. I like to use a 8*8 inch cake pan or a round 4*5 cake tin. You could use any kind. Even a loaf tin would work well. 
  8. Bake in pre-heated oven for 25 to 30 mins. 
  9. Use a skewer to check and if it comes out clean its baked perfectly well. 
  10. This cake can be relished just as it is or best paired with a cream cheese frosting. 
Notes: 
  • This cake stays moist all though long. They can be stored at room temperature in a airtight container  and stays good for almost 3-4 days. If its too humid, prefer to keep them in fridge and warm before consuming. 
  • I use caster sugar, if you don't find one I would suggest you to use fine sugar or powdered sugar to make sure its all combined well easily 
  • All oven are different, so if you feel that the temperature is high and cake is getting burned, you can reduce to 170 C. 
  • Make sure to use a good cocoa powder for this one. It makes a lot of difference. 
  • I like to line my baking pan/tin with parchment paper and have them peek out a little extra of the pan, so its easy to pull out the cake. Since its an ultra moist cake, removing it from pan without a lining would be little difficult and might fall apart. 
  • This cake batter supposed to be liquid, so don't worry about it. 
Do try this and let me know how it turned out for you. Comment below with pictures if you happen to bake them.

Easy Sambar (without tamarind)

Sambar is a must in most south Indian families and like others even I have grown up having dosa- sambhar and chutney's. A Sambar is a lentil based vegetable stew or curry cooked with dal/lentils along with some veggies and some tamarind pulp. There are coconut based sambar as well and each region has its own sambar variation. In my house, we all prefer quick meals, but yet tasty. My mother who was a working lady would make elaborate meals only during holidays or special occasions. Rest all the meals would be quick yet very very tasty. This is one such sambar which my mom has taught me and is super quick.  This doesn't use tamarind like in a traditional sambar and gets its tangy flavour from tomatoes. Its quick, one pot sambar recipe. Lets dive in and see how its done: Ingredients: Serves 3 1/2 to 1 cup Tur Dal/ Yellow Lentils 2-3 tomatoes chopped (depending on size) 1/2 cup Veggies each of your choice cubed Turmeric powder A pinch of Asafoetida/ Hing 1/2 tsp chilli powder Salt

Home-Made Nuts Powder

Home-Made Nuts powder is something which I have been making since Jeremy was a 9 month old. Initially to introduce nuts, I used to powder each nut separately (one day each) and mix with every food. As he grew older I realized he hates whole nuts especially Almonds and Pistachios. Cashews are still ok with him provided they are salted ones. But still he wasn't consuming much. Thats when I decided to continue making the essential and important nut powder. He hates the fact that nuts or chunky powder has been added and just rejects the whole meal even though its tasty and likes it. But this fine nut powder is a winner and I add it up in almost everything on a daily basis.  So this nut powder is perfect for fussy kid like mine or if you just wanna introduce nuts to your kids diet, this is a good solution. Its pretty simple and fuss free.   The powder is suitable for babies over 8 months, but before you feed this to your baby, make sure that baby has already tried the powdered version o
