Mother’s Recipe products are well known to you all.They have a wide range of Instant mixes,Pickles,Papads & ready to use paste varieties.But i am a big fan of their pickles & payasam mix.Recently they had announced an “Innovative Recipes”cooking contest for Indian Food Bloggers and sent me a gift hamper containing their assorted products.Please see the picture below for the products i received from them.As soon as i got the products,even before clicking,i opened the pickle & tasted it.So you can find that pack open in the picture 
.As per the contest rules,i should try n share a recipe that has to be something different and innovative using their products.So i used their Vermicelli payasam mix & made this eggless cake today.As the mix had powdered sugar,Milk powder & cardamom,making this cake was easier to me.It came out very well,soft n spongy too.I have not used egg,condensed milk,butter or even curd.Just milk and oil does the magic here.Its a low cal version too.Now i realized,by just using a payasam mix,we can make super soft cakes too.Thanks to Mother’s Recipe for giving me this opportunity & to make me think innovatively
.Friends, don’t forget to try this cake if u have Mother’s Recipe Semiya Payasam Mix in hand
.Its a great tea time snack for your kids & you as well !!

- Milk powder -1/4 cup
- Sugar – 4 tbsp ( Powder it)
- Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
- Cooking soda – 1/4 tsp
- Boiled milk – 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp ( at room temp)

|
METHOD
- Powder the sugar & keep aside.Take 1/2 cup of vermicelli payasam mix and remove the raisins if u find any.No need to remove cashews.Grind the vermicelli mix to a fine powder & set aside.
- As a general rule in cake making,first take all the dry ingredients( maida,milk powder,powdered mix,powdered sugar,baking powder & soda)in a wide bowl.Sieve them well.
- To this,add the oil.Mix well and make like crumbs.
- Now add the milk & vanilla essence and mix them well using a whisk in one direction.Make sure there are no lumps.Do not beat the mixture.Fold it gently.Add the chopped cashew nuts.Check the consistency of batter.If it is very thick,add 2 tbsp milk.The batter should fall like a ribbon.That’s the correct consistency.
- Now take a baking pan and line it with a butter paper or grease the pan with oil & sprinkle maida all over the pan to coat it. I used a non-stick pan for baking.So i din’t grease it.I used the pan as such.Fill the pan with batter and pat it well to break the air bubbles.
- Preheat the oven in convection mode at 180c and bake the cake at 180c for 25-30 minutes.First keep the time for 20 minutes & brush the top of cake with milk.Again bake it for 3 minutes.Check the cake by inserting a tooth pick.If the tooth pick comes out with uncooked batter,u have to bake for another 2 minutes.Again remove & check with the tooth pick.If the cake is not done,bake for 2 minutes more.Mine took exactly 28 minutes.Once the cake is done,the tooth pick will come out clean little crumbs.Hope u can see the crumb in the picture below.
- Allow the cake to cool down for 20 minutes.Now run a knife all through the sides of cake and invert the pan over a plate.It will come off easily.Cut them into slices & enjoy with your coffee/tea !
|
Note
- Add more milk(few tbsp) to adjust the consistency of cake batter.But make sure u bake for more time because cake takes more time to bake based on the consistency of batter.
- You should bake it until the tooth pick comes out clean or with little crumbs.Over baking makes the cake hard & chewy sometimes burnt too.
- Under baking gives you a sticky tasting cake.So please adjust the baking time as per your oven.
