For the cake:
first grease a round baking pan of 7.5 inches diameter x 2 inches height with oil. preheat your
oven to 200 degrees celsius/392 degrees fahrenheit.
seive 1 cup whole wheat flour, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, ½ tsp baking soda in a plate. use good quality cocoa powder.
in another pan or bowl, take ¾ cup sugar.
add 1 cup cold water and stir so that the sugar dissolves.

next add 1 tbsp lime juice. stir again.
now add ½ tsp vanilla extract or powder.
add the sieved dry ingredients to the wet mixture. using a wired whisk, mix everything well.
there should be no lumps in the cake batter. the batter is not thick but thin.
pour the cake batter in the prepared cake pan.
tap the sides of the cake pan so that the extra air bubbles are let out.
bake the cake in a preheated oven for 200 degrees celsius/392 degrees fahrenhiet for 35 to 40 mins. since temperatures vary from oven to oven, do keep a check. for baking in a convection mode of microwave oven, preheat the oven at 180 degrees celsius/356 degrees fahrenheit for 15 minutes. then bake the cake at 180 degrees celsius /356 degree fahrenheit for the 30 to 35 minutes.
for doneness check the cake with a tooth pick. the tooth pick should come out clean. once the cake becomes warm or cools down, unmold and place it on a wired rack. if the tooth pick is sticky, then place the cake bake in the oven and continue to bake for some more minutes. before frosting let the cake cool completely.

For the frosting:
take 2 tbsp butter and 4 tbsp sugar in a saucepan.
heat and melt the butter. also the sugar should dissolve. once the sugar has dissolved switch off the stove top. the sugar should be just dissolved. we don't need to cook the sugar in its various stages.
next add 4 tbsp cocoa powder.
with a spatula stir so that the cocoa powder gets mixed evenly with the butter-sugar mixture.
add 3 tbsp milk. stir very well. to make a slightly thick frosting, you can also add 2 tbsp milk. the cocoa frosting is ready.
while still hot, spread the frosting on the cake as well as the sides with a spatula. you can also slice the cake in halve and spread frosting in the center and then on the top. usually i wrap a medium sized plate with aluminium foil and then keep the cake on it. this make the frosting work easier. this time i just kept the cake directly on the plate. keep the cake covered in the fridge for the frosting to set. you can use a dome shaped bowl to cover the cake. make sure the there is enough space between the cake and the bowl which you are using for covering the cake.
the frosting will set after some hours. i kept overnight.
next day, sieve some icing sugar and cocoa powder on the cake. this is optional.
slice and serve the the eggless chocolate cake

Christmas Cake

Christmas Cake - Shwetha Amit Pai

(Non Alcoholic and eggless version)

Recipe:

All Purpose Flour (Maida) – 1¼ cups
Soda Bicarbonate – ½ tsp
Baking Powder – ½ tsp
Brown Sugar – 1 cup (I used light brown sugar)
Butter – 85 gms, softened
Whisked yogurt – ½ cup, room temp
Hot Milk – ¼ cup
Vanilla Essence – ½ tsp
For soaking
Mixed Dry Fruits - 1¾ cup
Apple Juice - 1 cup
For spice powder
Cloves – 1
Cardamom – 2
Cinnamon – a small piece

Instructions
Soaking of Fruits
Soak the fruits overnight in Apple juice. I used a combination of sultanas, seedless raisins,currants & candied orange & lemon peel. I didn’t chop the fruits & used it as such. You can use dried fruits of your choice. If you are using dates/apricots etc; chop it into small pieces & soak it.
For the cake
Preheat the oven @ 180 C, 10 minutes before baking.
Just before making the cake, drain the fruits and keep aside. Grind together cloves, cinnamon and cardamom with a tsp of sugar and keep aside.
Sift together all purpose flour, baking powder & soda bicarbonate. Using a manual whisk combine softened butter and brown sugar till light & fluffy. Add hot milk, yogurt & vanilla essence and mix well. Batter might look curdled at this point, but it comes together after adding the flour. Fold in the sifted flour in two batches.
Coat the drained fruits with 1 tbsp flour before adding to the batter. Fold in the drained fruits and spice powder.
Grease and line a cake tin (refer notes) with parchment / baking paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake in the preheated oven till a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. The timing can vary from 25-45 mins, depending on the size of the tin used (refer notes).
Cool the cake completely before slicing. You can store the cake in an airtight container @ room temp for 3-4 days. If you are living in a very hot or humid place, you may refrigerate the cake after 2 days.

Zebra Cake

Zebra Cake Vanilla Zebra Cake(Eggless)  -  Nandita Pai Shirali

Ingredients

Vanilla Batter

Maida | All Purpose Flour - 1.5 cups

Curd - 1 cup

Sugar - 3/4 cup

Oil - 1/2 cup

Baking Powder - 1 1/4 tsp

Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp

Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp

Chocolate Batter

Maida | All Purpose Flour - 1 cups

Cocoa Powder - 1/2 cup

Instant Coffee Powder - 1 tsp

Curd - 1 cup

Sugar - 3/4 cup

Oil - 1/2 cup

Baking Powder - 1 1/4 tsp

Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp

Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp

Method

First, grease or line a baking tray and keep it ready before you proceed to make the batters. 

Take two mixing bowls. In one we will make the vanilla batter and in the second, the chocolate batter.

How to make the Vanilla batter?

• Beat the yogurt and ensure all lumps are removed. Add in the sugar and mix well.
• Add baking powder and baking soda to this mixture and mix well.
• Set aside this mixture for 5 mins until small bubbles appear on the surface.
• Add vanilla extract and oil to this mixture and mix all the ingredients well.
• Add the flour in parts and gently fold in the batter until no more dry flour is seen.

How to make the Chocolate batter?

• Beat the yogurt and ensure all lumps are removed. Add in the sugar and mix well.
• Add baking powder and baking soda to this mixture and mix well.
• Set aside this mixture for 5 mins until small bubbles appear on the surface.
• Add vanilla extract and oil to this mixture and mix all the ingredients well.
• Add the flour, cocoa powder and coffee powder in parts and gently fold in the batter until no more dry flour is seen.

--> You can prepare both the batters simultaneously, if that suits you. I did that.

While you are almost done making the batter, pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees.

How to layer the Zebra cake?

• Take the greased bowl and drop a dollop of vanilla batter right in the centre.
• Now, take a scoop of the chocolate batter and gently drop it exactly over the vanilla batter ensuring it does not bleed into the vanilla batter but gently flattens and pushes it outwards.
• Now, take another scoop of the vanilla batter and drop it right over the chocolate batter, again ensuring that it does not smudge into the previous two layers, but gently pushes it outwards.
• Repeat this until you can you get pretty symmetric circles of alternate colours and until the center layer is no bigger than a little dot. The first layer that you poured, would reach outwards and touch the sides of the cake pan.
• I added in a teeny bit of walnuts right in the middle just to enhance the pretty-factor :)
• Bake in pre-heated oven for 40-35 mins until the top of the vanilla layers turns a golden brown and a tooth pick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• Allow it to cool for 10 minutes and then transfer on to a wire rack to completely cool!

How to decorate it using colour paper and skewers?

• Cut colour paper into diamonds such that when they fold in half, they form triangles. 
• Take a fancy thread, (I couldn't find one, so used regular thread!) and cut the desired length (slightly more than the diameter of the cake).
• Tie the thread on two skewers allowing for at least 3-4 inches of space from the bottom.
• Place the colour paper diamonds on the thread such that they fold over the thread and form little triangles, stick the two sides together.
• Write little birthday messages on them.
• Insert the skewers into the cake such that it forms a cute little banner holding the personalised birthday message :)

1 cup Smashed Bananas (I have used 5 small bananas, the sweeter ones)

1 tsp Butterscotch essence

½ cup Black Raisins



How do we do it:-

3 Now sieve in the wheat flour and baking powder together into the wet mixture.

4 Fold in the flour in the wet mixture gently. Do not over work it.

6 Now add in the flour dusted Black raisins into the batter and fold it in.

7 Put the batter in a greased cake tin.

8 Sprinkle some Black Raisins on top of the batter.

9 Meanwhile keep the oven for preheating on 180 degree C for 10 minutes.

10 After the oven is Pre-heated bake it for 30 minutes in the oven.
