INGREDIENTS USED IN EGGLESS WHOLEWHEAT VANILLA CAKE
MILK
Milk helps dilute the batter to achieve the desired consistency. This makes the batter easier to work with and results in a smoother texture. In recipes that use baking powder as a leavening agent, milk can react with it to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas creates air bubbles within the batter, causing the cake to rise and become fluffy. Using whole milk, as specified in the recipe, adds a luxurious creaminess to the batter, elevating the overall indulgence of the cake. I use
SUGAR
The most obvious reason is that sugar adds sweetness to the cake, making it enjoyable and satisfying to eat. In a microwave cake, sugar helps keep the cake moist, preventing it from becoming dry and crumbly during the cooking process. As it combines with the other ingredients, it helps create a light and fluffy texture, making each bite a heavenly experience.
OIL
Oil adds tenderness to the cake’s crumb.oil coats the flour particles and interferes with gluten formation, resulting in a more delicate and less chewy texture. Its often easier to mix into cake batters compared to solid fats like butter. It can be blended more uniformly with other ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of fats throughout the batter. The choice of vegetable oil adds neutrality, allowing the vanilla flavor to shine without any overpowering buttery notes.
WHOLEWHEAT FLOUR
Whole wheat flour plays a crucial and transformative role in enhancing the nutritional profile and texture of a cake. Unlike refined all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour retains the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel, making it a healthier alternative.
LEAVENING AGENTS
Baking powder and baking soda are used in this cake recipe as raising agents. Leavening agents introduce gas bubbles into the cake batter. When heated in the microwave, these bubbles expand, causing the cake to rise and become airy. The rise from leavening agents helps the cake cook more evenly in the microwave, ensuring that the center and edges of the cake cook at a similar rate.
