About Eggless Aata Jaggery Cake:
The eggless aata jaggery cake is a special kind of cake made with whole wheat flour which we call ‘aata’ in Hindi. It uses jaggery instead of white sugar, which is a natural sweetener made from sugarcane juice.
The addition of jaggery gives it a deep, earthy sweet taste with a lovely warm brown color.
To begin with, we first mix the wet ingredients – oil, curd (yogurt), milk, and jaggery powder. And then we add the dry ingredients like aata, baking soda, and baking powder. And then mix everything. And yes, we should not overmix after adding these dry ingredients.
The curd in the batter makes the cake very soft and moist inside when baked. The baking soda and powder make it rise and become light and fluffy.
Finally, top it up with some chopped almonds before baking. This gives a nice crunch and flavor on top.
The best thing I like about this whole wheat jaggery cake is that it tastes so delicious but also has healthy whole wheat flour and no refined sugar. Jaggery has some nutrients like minerals too.
