- 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
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.
- 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.
