My first cake ever!!!

It was the first party I was throwing at my place after my marriage to my love, Robin. So, I had to do some preparations in advance so as to reduce the burden. So, a day before, I thought of making an eggless cake as the guests were pure vegetarian.

So, I made this cake and guess what.... the aroma and the taste, it all was so good and delicious.
So here's how I made it.

Ingredients:


Maida - 2 cups
Baking Powder - 2 tspns
Baking Soda - 2 tspns
Peeled and grated apples - 2
Castor/Powdered Sugar - 1 cup
Butter - 1/2 cup
Milkmaid - 6-8 Tblspn
Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tspn
Nuts (Walnut, Almond, Cashewnuts, Kishmish, Tutti Frutti) - as required


Method:


First, sieve maida, baking powder and baking soda twice and keep it aside.
Mix nuts with 1/2 a tspn of maida and keep it aside.
Peel and grate apples and keep it aside.
Then in a microwave, (I have Godrej's microwave), soften or melt the butter at Hi for 30 secs.
Mix this butter with castor sugar and beat it well for about 5 mins to make a smooth paste.
Mix the grated apples into the above mixture and continue to beat it well for other 2 minutes.
Add milkmaid to it and again, beat it for 2 more minutes.
Now, add spoon-by-spoon, the maida, baking powder and baking soda mix, to the batter and make sure that                  
no lumps should form. Be careful with that.
Last but very important, mix all the nuts to the batter and mix well.
Oil a microwave proof dish with butter and sprinkle and spread (without using fingers or any other equipment) a little maida on it.
Pour the batter and remember not to spread it with the spatula as the batter would settle down by itself.

Now, keep the dish into the microwave set on Hi for 10 mins and check it with the knife or the skewer, weather the cake is done.

Enjoy your eggless apple cake..... Trust me it would be a delight.
