A classical and evergreen Bourbon cake recipe made without the soda, egg, and oven using just Kadhai, it is easy to make and can be a good alternative to the cakes available in the market which are usually stuffed with starch and cake flour. This easy-to-make recipe can be made anytime without much effort and can be served as a party cake and can be used as a gift for loved ones.
Cake recipes that are easy to make are a hot topic nowadays and one can have them at any time of the day without waiting for the special occasion to arrive. This recipe can be served as a snack with tea or coffee or can be consumed as a dessert. The recipe does not include the use of oven, egg, and soda which makes it ideal for vegetarian individuals. Making the cake soft and spongy becomes very difficult as it requires the use of an oven, with that said I am sharing this recipe which uses bourbon biscuit powder in place of cake flour, Dark chocolate in place of cocoa powder, and Eno to make it soft and spongy, for this recipe I opted steaming in place of baking.
For making this recipe a finger-licking dessert there are some tips and recommendations, firstly try to select chocolate Bourbon as for the vanilla one and then grind it. Secondly, try to make the batter lump-free, and most importantly tap the batter 2-3 times to remove the air. Lastly, for the better enhancement of the flavor, serve it with tea or coffee or try frosting it with melted chocolate.
