Want to bake your own cake...but scared that your baking would become a disaster? Don't worry! For even i had the same feel when i wanted to bake my first cake, and at then i didn't even have the conventional oven for doing it.
Now i know cake baking is no chemistry or magic. All you need to have is the right ingredients, proper meauring & mixing, good practise and the confidence to do it. With all these you can make it. Reason? even i can bake a proper cake!
(Small Trivia! Cake making began in ancient Egypt as round, flat, unleavened breads cooked on hot stone. Their evolution had travelled over many centuries, along with new ingredients, technology, innovation and creativity.)
Here I have given the recipe of Easy Oat Cake. The name itself would justify it is easy to make, and the taste and health facts are amazing...as you must be knowing the value of oats!
This oats cake does not require any skills, unusual ingredients or a conventional oven. This has a dead easy recipe that can made from the stuff already available in your kitchen.
You Need:
1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar (as per your taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 whole egg (if you like to add only egg white, then take 2 nos.)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk
a pinch of cinnamon powder (to give a lovely aroma when baked)
Directions:
1. Coarse grind oats and keep aside
2. Add the rest of the ingredients (sugar, salt, butter, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon powder and milk) in a mixer jar/food processor and whip for 3 - 4 seconds
3. Now mix this well with the grounded oats (dry nuts and other flavorings are optional, and can be added at this stage)

4. Grease in a baking tray with butter and pour the mixture
5. Microwave it for 5 minutes
6. Now switch on the oven to grill mode and cook it for 2 minutes (increase the time to 1 - 2 minutes if necessary, but never leave it unattended...as microwave would easily dehydrate and scorch your food)
7. Now you can indulge yourself with this heavenly soft oats cake
(Note: Cake is done when it springs back to the touch)
Hema: this is for you.
