For the last day of this edition of Blogging Marathon, here is a snack cake which will brighten your day. It is a delightful cake topped with the strawberry sauce. I loved the usage of lemon juice in this recipe.
It has been a sheer pleasure to be experimenting with fat free and egg free bakes this week long. Thanks to Srivalli who has conceptualized all the themes for the marathon and it sure has become a sort of group therapy, if I may say :)
Here is the strawberry snack cake enjoyed by us and our neighbors too!
Ingredients -
*Cake Flour 1 3/4 cup (or all purpose flour/maida)
Baking Soda 1 tsp
Baking Powder 1/4 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
Sugar 3/4 cup
Wet Ingredients -
Yogurt/Curds 1/3 cup (Can use Soy Yogurt to make it vegan)
Water 1/2 cup
Milk 1/2 cup (Can use Soy Milk to make it vegan)
Lemon Juice 2 Tbsp
Vanilla Essence 1/2 tsp
For Strawberry Sauce -
Strawberries stemmed and sliced 1 lb (I used a little less)
Cornstarch 2 Tbsp
Sugar 1/2 cup
Water 1/4 cup
* I used a combination of all purpose flour, wheat flour and corn starch.
Method Of Preparation -
Sieve the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Mix in the sugar too.
In another bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients and gently pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just-blended. Do not over mix.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 8 X 5 or 8 X 8 pan.
Pour in the mixture into the pan and bake in the center rack for about 30 min. Check to see if a tester comes clean when inserted in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
To prepare the strawberry sauce -
Combine the strawberries, sugar, water and cornstarch in a sauce pan and boil until the sauce thickens.
Pour the sauce on the cooled cake and serve warm or chilled!
