Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup bournvita
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 3 tablespoon cooking oil

For bournvita frosting:

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornflour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon bournvita
  • 1 tablespoon choco chips

Instructions

  • To begin with first to a mixing bowl add flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Mix it well with a whisk for even mixing, set aside. You can alternatively sieve it too.
  • To another mixing bowl - add sugar and bournvita.
  • Powder it fine using a mixie. Use a dry mixer jar. Transfer to the bowl and set aside.
  • To a big mixing bowl add warm water, oil and vinegar.
  • Now add powdered sugar bournvita mixture to it.
  • Mix it well without lumps. Mix until sugar and bournvita dissolves completely.
  • Add in flour mixture.
  • Add remaining warm water.
  • Whisk to form a smooth flowing batter.
  • The batter should be thick but flowing.
  • Prepare the cake tin by placing butter paper. Brush with oil/butter, sprinkle wheat flour. Tap to remove excess flour.
  • Pour the batter inside the cake tin.
  • Preheat the kadai with steel stand placed inside.
  • Cook covered for 35-40 mins or until a tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cake is done id the toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean or with cake crumbs. If baking in oven bake at 180 deg C for 30 - 35 mins or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Don't worry if the cake cracks out, its normal.
  • Let the cake cool down for few mins then invert to demould.
  • Remove butter paper, let the cake cool down completely.

Bournvita Frosting:

  • To a pan add milk, chocochips, bournvita, cornflour and sugar. Heat it up.
  • Mix well without any lumps.
  • Keep cooking until a thick sauce consistency is reached. Set aside to cool.
  • Once both the cake and frosting is cool, add the frosting to the top of the cake. Spread it to a thin layer. If you prefer you can frost the sides too. I just  wanted to make it simple so stopped with just frosting the top alone.
  • Add edible sugar silver beads on top. Cut and serve!
  • Enjoy Bournvita Cake!

Notes

  • Pulsing bournvita along with sugar makes it easy to dissolve without any lumps.
  • Also use a kadai which do not want anymore for cooking as the base will get dark when you use it for stovetop baking. I use the kadai as such with a steel stand placed inside. You can add a layer of sand or salt then place stand and bake too.
  • You can use cane sugar if you want. But personally I haven't tried it so not sure of the result.
  • If baking in oven bake at 180 deg C for 30 - 35 mins or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
  • I used fully wheat flour, you can use a combination of maida and wheat flour half and half say 2 tablespoon wheat flour and 2 tablespoon maida.
  • You can use any chocolate powder you like. You can even add horlicks. If you like add 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa powder or instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavour.
  • Don't worry if the cake cracks out, its normal. If you are planning for a birthday cake, then sliec the craked part and apply frosting to get a smooth flat top. I usually invert it upside down then apply frosting.
