prohibited item among overweight individuals and Celiac disease patients.

Overview
of Gluten-free Cakes
Gluten-free
Cake
Gluten-free cake, as the name highlights consists of
gluten-free base i.e. jowar flour instead of using Maida i.e. all-purpose
flour. In addition, to reduce the percentage of carbohydrate and making it
healthy, we have used jaggery, popularly known as gur among Indian people. However,
to make the cake, we have sieved the jowar flour for about 3 to 4 times, so
that it somewhat resembles as fine powder.
Ingredients
Required
·
1 and half cup of jowar flour
·
1 cup of jaggery
·
1 teaspoon of baking soda
·
1 teaspoon of baking powder
·
Few drops of vanilla extract
·
1 tablespoon of refined oil
·
1 tablespoon of curd
·
Almonds in crushed form

Raisins

Grated carrot
Preliminary
Steps
We know that jowar flour is of hard type, because of
which you should sieve it for at least 3 to 4 times before you should start
with the preparation of your cake. Secondly, break the jaggery into small
pieces or melt it by using hot water. (Melting is preferable).
Preparation
of the Batter
·
Mix the jowar flour, baking soda and baking
powder in a well manner to prepare the mixture of dry contents
·
Next, mix the melted jaggery, oil and
curd, along with vanilla extract properly i.e. the wet mixture.
·
Now, you have to combine both dry and
wet mixture bit by bit gradually. (Never perform this step randomly).
·
Thus, your batter of the gluten-free
jowar cake is ready to bake.
Preparation
of the Cake
·
Similar to any cake-baking method, you
have to preheat the micro-oven by selecting its convection mode at 180 degree
Celsius before you should start with the baking method.
·
Meanwhile, you should bring a cake tin
and oil it from all sides properly.
·
Place the batter in your cake tin and
wait for the completion of preheating step.
·
Once the pre-heat step completes, you
should place a stand.
·
Place the cake tin on the stand and bake
the batter at 40 degree Celsius for about 30minutes.
·
Remove the cake tin from the micro-oven
and perform toothpick test.
·
In case the toothpick does not come out
clean, you have to bake the batter again for a while.
·
Once your cake is done, just remove the
cake tin and allow it to cool.
·
After your cake cools, you may remove it
from the cake tin and place it on a plate to cut and celebrate your occasion.
