EGG FREE WINTER CARROT – ORANGE LOAF CAKE…wheat flour tea time cake by adding milk masala powder -VIDEO
Super soft, colorful loaf cake recipe, which I made for a diwali contest. It was really a good experience. The ingredients and their measurements used in this recipe are roughly my guess work but not copied from anywhere/anyone. So …. I can say kind of my own recipe.
Well we always like baked goodies or any kind of sweets for that matter, slightly to be on the less sweeter side, so you can always adjust the sweetness when doing my recipes.
I have put mainly 3 flavours in this recipe (contest was in association with Ossoro) Ossoro’s milk masala flavour, saffron flavour & Shrikhand flavour which did blend well along so very well and the outcome is an awesome, yummy, totally aromatic and flavourful tea time accompaniment in the form of a loaf cake
Apart from the flavours, yet another special ingredient in this recipe is home made milk masala powder, which gives this cake a spicy taste by making it more suitable to pair along with tea/coffee.
This cake has also been sweetened by putting powdered red rock sugar (kempu kallu sakkare) and it also has enhanced the color of the cake. I could obtain that vibrant color due to the usage of fair amount of saffron strands (milk masala powder), Orange juice and mainly red rock sugar.
