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

  • Baking powder-1/4 tsp
  • Chopped nuts optional-3 tbsp

Equipment

  • Steamer

Method
 

  1. Peel and decore the apple. Dice them.
  2. Meanwhile, separate the egg white from the yolk. Use a hand beater to make it fluffy.
  3. 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.
  4. Now, slice the nuts into thin strips.
  5. Next, add nuts to the batter and mix well.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased pan or in a pan covered with a baking sheet.
  7. Keep the pan in a hot steamer and steam for 20 minutes.
  8. Serve hot or cold.
  9. 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.
