Equipment

  • Steamer

Ingredients
  

  • Apples-3 medium-sized
  • Eggs-4
  • Cake flour-1/4 cup
  • Cardamom powder-1/4 tsp
  • Milk powder-1/4 cup
  • Raw sugar-1/4 cup
  • Vanilla extract-1/2 tsp
  • Baking powder-1/4 tsp
  • Chopped nuts optional-3 tbsp

Instructions
 

  • Peel and decore the apple. Dice them.
  • Meanwhile, separate the egg white from the yolk. Use a hand beater to make it fluffy.
  • In a blender, add apples, flour, eggs, cardamom powder, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend it thoroughly to get a smooth batter. Add the egg whites and mix gently.
  • Now, slice the nuts into thin strips.
  • Next, add nuts to the batter and mix well.
  • Pour the batter into a greased pan or in a pan covered with a baking sheet.
  • Keep the pan in a hot steamer and steam for 20 minutes.
  • Serve hot or cold.
  • For a cold dessert keep this in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Notes

  • Apples can be replaced with bananas in the same recipe.
  • The separation of egg white and beating it makes the cake fluffy.
  • The nuts are purely optional.
  • The same recipe can be done in a non-stick pan. For that, pour the batter into the pan. Keep the heat low. Cook for 20-30 minutes based on the pan's size. Turn the cake into its other side and cook it for 5 more minutes to get a nice brown color on both sides.
  • Cover the lid of the steamer with clothes tied outside, to prevent the steam from condensing and dripping into the batter.
  • I am using the stovetop steamer for this recipe.
