- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Wet ingredients
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk or 125 ml
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
For butter solution
- 80 grams unsalted butter or about ⅓ cup heaped chilled butter cubes. you can also use salted butter
- ½ cup water or 125 ml
- 4 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Preparation
- Grease a 6x6 inches square pan with softened butter. You can also use a 5 to 6 inches round pan.
- In a seive, take the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Keep the sieve on top of a mixing bowl or pan.
- Sift both the dry ingredients. Preheat yout oven to 180 degrees celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes.
- Add sweetened condensed milk to the sifted flour.
- Add vanilla extract.
- Do not mix. Simply set aside.
Making butter solution
- In another small frying pan or skillet, take unsalted butter, water and sugar.
- Keep the pan on a stovetop and on a low flame heat this mixture.
- The butter will melt initially. Do stir occasionally.
- Bring this mixture to a boil.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, then remove the pan and pour the entire boiling hot mixture in to the flour mixture.
Making whole wheat cake batter
- With a wired whisk, begin to mix lightly.
- Mix with light pressure, so that over mixing does not happen.
- Mix to a smooth batter. If there are small tiny lumps, then let it be. Do not over mix.
- Now pour the cake batter in the greased cake pan.
- Gently shake the pan or tap the sides.
Baking wheat cake
- Place the pan in a preheated oven. Bake at 180 degrees celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Oven temperatures are not same everywhere, so while baking do keep a check. Keep a time span of 30 minutes to 1 hour for baking this cake. You can check after 30 minutes if the cake is done or not.
- Also please do not open the oven door until ¾ of the cake is done.
- The top should be golden and when you insert a tooth pick or wooden skewer in the atta cake, it should come out clean.
- Let the wheat cake cool completely, before you serve it.
Serving suggestions
- Slice and serve wheat cake as it is with milk, tea or coffee. You can also enjoy it as a sweet snack.
- Or you can spread your favorite frosting (chocolate, whipped cream, buttercream) on the cake. Allow the frosting to set by refrigerating the cake. Later slice and serve.
Storage
- First, transfer the cooled cake to a box. In cooler climates, the cake can be kept at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
- In warmer or hotter climates, refrigerate the cake immediately. This cake stays good for about a week in the fridge.
Notes
- Flour: You can make this wheat cake recipe with all-purpose flour as well as pastry flour.
- Butter: While I usually prefer unsalted butter in my baking recipes, but if you do not have it, then make the cake with salted butter.
- Fats: If you do not prefer butter, then add 4 to 5 tablespoons of oil. Use a neutral-flavored oil like sunflower oil. You can also replace butter with 80 grams of ghee.
- Sweetened condensed milk: You could include sweetened condensed milk from any brand. Evaporated milk works as a substitute for condensed milk - simply add ½ cup sugar in the step where you make the butter and water solution. The sugar must be completely dissolved.
- Measuring cup: For this recipe, I have used a measuring cup of 250 ml, but a 240 ml measuring cup also works fine.
- Scaling: Make a large cake easily by doubling this recipe. If you plan to make a layered frosted cake for birthdays, then I suggest baking the cake in two pans.
- Baking: No two ovens have the same temperature. While baking, it will take less or more time to bake this cake - this depends on your oven size and type. Usually, convection ovens bake faster. Consider a time period of 30 minutes to 1 hour for baking this whole wheat cake.
- Batter consistency: The batter has a medium flowing consistency. If your batter looks thick, add ¼ to ½ cup of hot water to loosen it.
- Note that the approximate nutrition info is for 1 slice of wheat cake.
