Servings8 pieces
Ingredients
Mix 1 :
- ¾ cup wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Mix 2 :
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar You can use cane sugar or regular sugar too
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
- ⅛ cup oil
- 3 tablespoon milk
Mix 3 :
- ¼ cup curd
- ½ tablespoon vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- To a sieve add wheat flour, baking powder and salt. Sieve it well for even mixing.
- In a mixing bowl - add sugar, water and oil.
- Add vanilla essence and mix well until sugar completely dissolves. In a separate bowl add curd.
- Add vinegar, and baking soda. It will bubble up as you can see.
- Now add curd mixture to sugar oil mixture. Whisk well.
- Add wheat flour mixture and whisk it well. The mixture was thickish so added milk.
- The mixture should be flowing not too runny or too thick. If you pour it should spread by itself.
- Heat the sandwich maker as per the instruction manual, then grease it with oil / butter. Pour the batter into the holes in the sandwich maker, do not pour more just a layer.
- Close and cook covered for 4-5 mins. Slowly open and check if its cooked it will stick. If it sticks then cook covered for another 2mins. Remove and add batter for next batch.
- Eggless Pillow Cake ready!
Notes
- Batter consistency – I keep the batter flowing but not too thin. If it becomes too thick the cake may not cook evenly.
- Mixing – I mix the batter well without lumps. Smooth batter gives better texture to the cake.
- Greasing – I grease the mould well before pouring the batter. This helps the cake come out easily.
- Cooking time – I check after few minutes as each sandwich maker is different. Do not overcook as it may become hard.
- Variation – You can add chocolate chips or nuts for different taste. It gives good bite and extra flavour.
