No Sweat Corn Cake

I was thinking how to use corn flour made of yellow corn to bake.. I used broken corn in Uppma with broken rice and it tasted yummy.... Then I thought why not to bake.

Thanks to http://www.dishesfrommykitchen.com/2012/11/EgglessVanillaCake.html I found this great recipe.. My previous cake was not like by all and I had to change the recipe. Not that it was a bad cake.. it was more physiological more than the actual taste itself.

So I used this recipe as a base to mine and made a few changes.. It says replace 2 table spoons of all  purpose floor with corn flour, I used half cup of corn flour and half cup of all purpose flour (APF). I used more milk..

Here is my version

Ingredients

Dry:

1/2 cup corn flour

1/2 cup all purpose flour

4 tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

Wet:

1 cup milk

1/4 cup oil

1/4 tsp vinegar

1 tsp vanilla essence

Method

Mix wet and dry ingredient separately in bowls, when mixing dry ingredients make sure there are no lumps of APF and corn flour..use hands to remove lumps.. (In my baking experience hand is the best mixing tool.. heat of the body gives the recipe a good texture and personal touch!)

Mix wet and dry ingredients and beat well.. the mixture will have air holes from the baking soda and powder mixed with vinegar..  transfer it to a 8 inch baking pan and bake at 175 C for 25 minutes.. 28 to 30 minutes if you want it crustier. 

 Next time I omitted the cocoa powder and added chocolate chips..

It tasted as yummy as it looks!

It is a no fail recipe and has no side effects.. My next experiment would be to replace corn flour with Ragi flour and another one will be to replace APF with whole wheat flour.. will post them soon
