Equipment

  • Oven
  • mixing bowl
  • Whisker 
  • Baking pan
  • Toothpick 

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup  Besan or chickpea flour
  • 1/3 cup Oil
  • 1/2 cup Curd or yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Shredded almond
  • 2 tbsp Desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 cup milk powder
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 t tsp Cardamom powder
  • Shredded almond to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Sieve besan or chickpea flour, baking powder and soda. Add shredded almond, desiccated coconut and milk powder. Mix everything well. Add cardamom powder and mix.
  • Grease a baking pan. I used loaf pan but you can use round pan or any pan of your choice. Spread some shredded almond in the greased pan. I made it upside down cake. If you don’t want upside down cake skip this step. Spread shredded almond after pouring cake batter in the pan.
  • In a large bowl mix oil, yogurt and powdered sugar. Whisk everything well. Add dry ingredients gradually. Mix well. Make a lump free smooth batter. Watch video recipe for detailed method.
  • Preheat the oven at 170°. Use convection or hot blast mode. For OTG preheat at 180° for 10 minutes.
  • Pour the batter in greased baking pan. Tap the cake pan gently on your kitchen counter to remove the air bubbles. If you are not making upside down cake, then sprinkle shredded almond over the batter.
  • Bake the cake in preheated oven at 170° for 28 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake to check. In OTG bake for 30-35 minutes at 180°. Let it cool down completely before slicing.
  •  Cut and serve delicious soft moist flavorful besan cake and enjoy the heavenly taste.
