Eggless Sooji Mawa Cake/ Eggless Semolina Cake

Eggless Sooji Mawa Cake/ Eggless Semolina Cake

Eggless Sooji Mawa Cake/Eggless Semolina Cake is a very easy recipe for beginners in baking. It uses very simple ingredients and simple home utensils.

My mother used to prepare the eggless sooji cake when we were young. It was very basic with few ingredients available at homes such as ghee, sooji, curd, milk, and sugar. She used to bake it in a cooker. I always used to love the taste.

It can be prepared in different flavors like chocolate, orange, mango, vanilla using different flavors and ingredients.

I have tried making the simple sooji cake of my mom but with some modifications. I like and have added milk powder to the cake. It adds richness to the cake and gives a taste similar to mawa/khoya. I have used cardamom to enhance the flavor of the cake and also added mixed dry nuts. It gives a very traditional taste. My family loves it!!

I always sift all-purpose flour along with leavening agents. I add sooji to the melted butter, sugar, curd and milk mixture and allow it to rest. I prefer using coarse semolina (sooji). The process of resting allows the semolina to absorb the liquid and the grains of semolina will puff up. After that add the maida mixture and then immediately bake the cake. I have used unsalted butter while baking the cake. You can replace it with ghee or oil.

The cake comes out well and is soft, moist, and rich with the flavors of cardamon and the dry nuts give crunch to the cake. It is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of tea or coffee. Kids also enjoy when packed in their lunch boxes.

Friends do make this simple but very delicious cake at home and please share your views with me.
