Baking Time : 30 to 35 mins
Resting Time : 2 hours
Ingredients:
For Cake:
All Purpose Flour / Maida - 1 cup+ 2 tblsp / 120 grams + 2 tblspn
Baking Powder - ¾ tsp
Salt a pinch
Eggs - 2
Sugar - ¾ cup / 150 grams
Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp
Cold Water - ⅓ cup
For the Milk:
Full Cream Milk - 1 cup boiled and cooled
Fresh Cream / Whipping Cream - 1 cup
Sweet Condensed Milk - 1 cup
For Serving:
Whipped Cream - as needed
Cherries as needed
(My 1 cup measures 240 ml)
Method:
Preheat oven to 160 degree C. Grease a 20 cm square cake pan with oil and set aside.
Take flour, baking powder, salt in a sifter and sieve well.
Take cold water, vanilla in a jug and mix well. Set aside.
Take eggs in a bowl and use a hand blender to whip it up. Once it is well whipped. add in sugar slowly and keep whipping.
Once the eggs turn fluffy, add in half of the flour mix and whip, add in the cold water mix and the remaining flour and mix well.
Pour this into the cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 mins. Insert a toothpick to check whether the cake is done. If it comes out clean then the cake is baked.
While the cake is cooling, take the three milk in a jug and mix well.
Take the warm cake and poke holes all over it using a fork. Now pour the milk mix over it and keep pouring and pouring. Leave it for few minutes so the cake absorbs the liquid. Now pour again, i poured ¾ of the milk mix in. Covered it with plastic wrap and popped it in fridge for couple of hours.
Now i took out and poured some more milk mix in.
Cut the cake into pieces and garnish with whipped cream and cherries.
Serve cold.

Hi. I want to try this out. Looks yummy. But I did mot understand the flour measurements.(Maida - 1 cup+ 2 tblsp / 120 grams + 2 tblspn). in total how much flour should be taken ? 240 gms + 120 gms or only 120 gms ? You have said that your 1 cup is 240 ml ?

Oh, that looks so tempting, I could eat it right now!

Hi
Thanks for sharing your recipe... I was just wondering that does this recipe not require any oil/ butter?
Anonymous
Can this be made in pressure cooker?
Also wont the break when we unmould it from the pan as its all soft and spongy with the milk ? Or we shld slice it directly from cake pan and not invert.
Aarthi
@Anonymousthis recipe dont need that, since it is going to be soaked in milk, it will stay moist
Aarthi
@AnonymousYou can make it in pressure cooker. this cake cannot be unmoulded, you can unmould it and place it in serving place before pouring the milk mix over it. Use a high sided plate for that. But i sliced it directly in the cake pan and served

Thanks for your response Aarthi...I am surely going to try it 🙂

Hi Aarthi....usually all the ingredients for baking should be at room temperature.......then why have u used cold water in it..... normally cold will deactivate baking powder & cake will not rise.....can u plz tell the secret behind this....
Aarthi
@AnonymousI am not sure what it does, it gives a more strudier cake which absorbs the milks better

Any substitute for cream?
Aarthi
@Anonymousu can use milk instead, but cream gives that richness

Hi Aarthi,
I tried this cake and it tasted soooooo yummy.. Just fell in love with the cake and everyone at home liked it. Thanks for the recipe. ☺

Hi Arthi, am a big fan of your recipes.. Especially the pictorial representation is the best that makes my hob fast.. Keep going.
One suggestion as a critic .. Every person needs a critic to grow and improve. Hope u take it in the right way.
Please start using stainless steel kitchen gadgets .. The plastic mugs and containers are a black mark to ur pictures.. I always used to think u t doing it onpurpose to reach the common people u can relate u to themselves but even otherwise i feel it can be basic stainless steels cups or bowls always .
All the best...
