About Jamun Mix Cake
This recipe calls for easy ingredients that is available in your pantry. Above all, wheat flour added make the cake healthy too.
Dry ingredients : First mix all the dry ingredients like wheat flour, jamun mix, powdered sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cardamom powder. Mix it well.
Wet ingredients: After that add all the wet ingredients like milk and oil. Mix well until no lumps.
Bake : Pour in baking pan and bake.
I have given 2 methods for this recipe:
- With oven : This method uses the usual oven method.
- Without oven : This is nothing but the traditional method which uses sand for baking in stove top. The stove top version cake also has the same exact texture as the oven ones. The only thing missing is the browning and crust on top which the oven cake has.
Variations
- You can replace milk with cream for a more richer version.
- Add chopped nuts like almonds or cashews on top for that extra crunch.
- For a vegan version replace milk with soya or almond or cashew milk. However remember the jamun mix has milk solids in it.
Serving Suggestion
You can serve it with tea or just individually. This is more like tea cake and goes well for snacktime or teatime. However this can be had as such and will satisfy your sudden sweet craving. In addition this is a perfect snack for kids snackbox too.
