Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease an 8-inch cake pan with butter and dust it lightly with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. -
Prepare the Flax Meal Egg Replacer
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of flax seed powder (flax meal) with 6 tablespoons of chilled water. Stir well and set it aside to thicken for about 5 minutes. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened salted butter (or coconut oil for a vegan version) with the brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes. -
Add the Flax Meal Egg Replacer and Milk
Add the prepared flax meal mixture to the bowl, followed by the milk (use almond milk for a vegan option). Mix everything together until the ingredients are well incorporated. -
Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour (maida), ragi flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. This will ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed and free of lumps. -
Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in parts, mixing well after each addition. Stir until the batter becomes smooth and uniform. -
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Pla
