Here’s a recipe for a Soft and Tasty Eggless Sponge Rava Cake with a perfect balance of flavors and texture: Ingredients: • Semolina (Rava/Sooji): 1 cup (fine variety) • Yogurt (Curd): 1 cup • Sugar: ¾ cup (adjust to taste) • Milk: ½ cup (adjust for consistency) • Vegetable Oil/Butter: ¼ cup • Baking Powder: 1 tsp • Baking Soda: ½ tsp • Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp • Cardamom Powder: ½ tsp (optional, for traditional flavor) • Chopped Nuts: 2-3 tbsp (almonds, cashews, pistachios) • Grated Coconut: 2 tbsp (optional, for extra richness) • Lemon Zest/Orange Zest: 1 tsp (optional for added flavor) • Pinch of Salt Instructions: 1. Prepare the Batter: • In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, yogurt, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. • Add milk, oil, and vanilla essence. Mix well to form a smooth batter. • Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the liquid and soften. 2. Preheat the Oven: • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). • Grease a cake tin with oil or butter and dust with flour, or line it with parchment paper. 3. Activate the Batter: • After resting, check the batter’s consistency. It should be slightly thick but pourable. Add a little more milk if needed. • Add baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold these into the batter. • Fold in the chopped nuts and grated coconut (if using). 4. Bake: • Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin. Tap the tin lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles. • Sprinkle some chopped nuts on top for garnish. • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 5. Cool and Serve: • Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. • Slice and serve your soft, spongy, and tasty rava cake. Tips for Perfect Sponge Rava Cake: 1. Milk Consistency: If the batter becomes too thick after resting, adjust with additional milk, but don’t make it too runny. 2. For a Citrus Twist: Add lemon or orange zest for a refreshing flavor. 3. Steaming Option: If you don’t have an oven, steam the cake for 30-35 minutes over medium heat. 4. Richness: You can add 1-2 tbsp of condensed milk for extra softness and sweetness. This eggless sponge rava cake is perfect for tea-time, celebrations, or as a guilt-free dessert.
