Namaskar!
The dish for today is Semolina Cake
Semolina Chocolate Cake
we will steam to bake this cake
it is easier to bake cakes by steaming them
than by baking them in the oven
so, let's get onto it
this is about 1/4 cup of sugar powder
and 3 table spoons of olive oil
you may also use butter instead
and we will whisk it for some time
add 3 table spoons of curd
please use fresh curd for the batter
and whisk it good
until the batter becomes smooth
the curd adds to the binding of the cake
also it makes the cake tastier
the batter is done
this is about 1/2 cup of fine semolina
if fine semolina is not availble
you may grind the regular semolina
add semolina little by little
add 2 table spoons of coco powder
this is a dutch processed coco powder
its a dark coco powder
and 1/4 cup of milk
add milk little by little
1/2 tea spoon of vanilla essence
the batter may seem a little too runny
but the semolina will soak up the milk
and the batter will get thick
therefore, we wil leave the batter
for about 10 minutes
it's been about 10 minutes
now we will ready the things required
to bake the cake
we are using this utensil
you can use any utensil in which the batter
container could easily fit
and we have added 2 cups of water to it
we shall now heat the water
and we will place a stand into it
on which we will keep the cake conatiner
we will put a lid on it so that the water
could heat up faster
this is container for the batter
and a butter paper of its size
we will put just a little oil on it
all over the container
if the butter paper is not available
you may use any normal paper
and add oil all over it just like this
to grease the container
our container is ready
look how thick the batter is now
semolina absorbed all the water and milk
this is what the consistency should be
add about 1/4 tea spoon of baking powder
and a pinch of baking soda
do not add too much of soda
use a sieve to put these ingredients
so that they mix easily
our batter for the cake is ready
we will put this into the container
and just tap a little
to even out the batter
and our batter is ready to steam
now, we will steam the cake
the water is all boiled up
we have kept the cake container
on the stand and put a lid on the container
so that the water doesn't go
into the cake
and then cover the steamer with a lid
we will put the flame high enough
to make the steam into the utensil
but the flame should be not that high
and we will check the cake after 40 minutes
i have baked thsi cake

and due to the lockdown i could not buy
it from the market as well
you may also use 1 cup of semolina

switc off the gas
and let's take the container out
and let it cool down for some time
the container has cooled down

just cut through the sides using a knife
and remove the butter paper from it

look how spongey the cake is
Semolina Chocolate cake is ready to serve
its so soft and spongey
it is also not that difficult to bake
just be sure of the measurements

if you are baking a bigger cake
it may take longer to steam the cake
