Eggless Milkless Butterless Raisin Cake

Hello everyone,
                      Has anyone of you dreamed of making a cake that is totally eggless, butterless n milkless, at the same time being so soft, moist n tasty. I have always thought of making such cake which is easy to consume without guilt... :D. While I was in a search of recipes I came across this wonderful recipe which was a guilt free cake recipe. At beginning I had a doubt whether this will come out good or am I going to find the recipe of a brick :), but once it came out of the oven I was really surprised to see the texture and the way it was fluffy n lite... enjoy



Ingredients


½ cup sugar or Brown sugar (Can be reduced little bit if the raisins are sweeter variety)

½ + ¼  cup water

2 Tbsp + 2 tsp oil

1 cup dark raisins ( I insist on using the dark variety)

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ground cloves

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 cup flour (whole wheat or all purpose flour will do)

1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp chopped nuts of ur choice
 
 
 

Method

Preheat oven to 325°F 165 C.
 
Combine sugar, water, oil, raisins and spices in a saucepan, and boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
 
 
 
 
Take pan off heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Dissolve baking soda and salt in to the raisin mixture (it will foam).
 
 
 
Mix the flour n baking powder in a large mixing bowl and add the raisin mixture to it .
 
 

Mix well till everything is blended into a sticky n mushy dough.



Grease or line a cake tin or a loaf pan.
Shift the batter into the pan.
Sprinkle with the chopped nuts on the top and give a gentle press.


Bake it in a pre heated oven for 30 to 35 mins or till a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.



Let it cool on a rack till completely cool.

Stays fresh in refrigerator for 3-4 days.
