Who doesn’t love a piece of well made soft cake! I am yet to meet someone who does not like cakes. Cakes are made in different ways with different flavours all over the world. Birthdays and celebrations are incomplete without cakes. So today we are going to learn to make eggless mawa cake, it’s my take of the very famous Parsi mawa cake.
Eggless mawa cake will melt in the mouth owing to its ingredients. The most important one being the mawa or khoya. Milk solids in a cake, what is not to like! It is a very rich cake and equally decadent and delicious! I have used my homemade khoya recipe for this cake and it is simply out of this world. ... “Eggless Mawa Cake | Parsi Mawa Cake | Cake Recipes”

Many of us are attracted by the fancy cookies and biscuits sold in cololurful supermarkets. But have you stopped and thought that you can make them right at home and you exactly know what you are adding to your cookies. So here we are with chewy eggless oatmeal and raisin cookies.
These eggless oatmeal raisin cookies are so wholesome, lightly chewy and also melt in the mouth at the same time. The oats and raisins give a lot of body to the cookies. The flours, butter make them light and yogurt makes them moist and crumbly. Here I have used a combination of wholemeal/wholewheat flour along with all purpose flour. But feel free to use either. With the wholemeal/wholewheat flour you will get thick and dense cookies because of the gluten. ... “Eggless Oatmeal Raisin Cookies | Oats Raisin Cookies”

These days I try to bake most things at home. But kneading the dough to make bread, buns or rolls takes some effort. Nevertheless it is worth the effort and so this time I wanted to try something a bit more fancy. So I tried a nutella braided bread which is basically bread dough filled with hazelnut chocolate spread. This is braided into a nice plait and then baked off till golden brown.
A hot cup of coffee and some ooey gooey nutella braided bread to go with it can set you right up. I know chocolate spreads are rich in calories but hey cannot hurt to make this once in a while. A small piece would not hurt anyone and share your nutella braided bread. It is just fun to make it and eat it. In fact involve kids while making this, yes a bit of mess will be on your hands to clean up later. But who’s complaining! ... “Nutella Braided Bread | Chocolate Bread | Bread Recipes”

A soft fluffy cake loaded with colourful tutti frutti sounds like a fun cake to eat. I have used homemade tutti frutti in this eggless tutti frutti cake. It is completely free of preservatives and the taste is uncompromised. You can use a simple vanilla sponge cake recipe to make this eggless tutti frutti cake.
I have used wholemeal flour to make the eggless tutti frutti cake. Also I have baked it in a loaf tin making it more tutti frutti loaf than a cake. But then who’s to judge, it’s all fun to eat! Adding yogurt or buttermilk to cake makes the crumb really soft and moist. Use good vanilla to flavour your cake, makes a lot of difference. Avoid using artificial vanilla or other flavouring substances in the interest of taste and health. ... “Eggless Tutti Frutti Cake | Tutti Frutti Loaf | Cake Recipes”

Different varieties of bread are made all over the world.

I attempted making foccacia with whole wheat flour and here’s the verdict, whole wheat foccacia tastes really good. Indeed it’s a delicacy!
Whole wheat foccacia can be made with plain with just some salt and olive oil on top, or flavoured with herbs like rosemary or basil and also made with some simple ingredients like olives, sun-dried tomatoes etc. It tastes really good with a bowl of hot tomato soup or also to make sandwiches. ... “Whole Wheat Foccacia | Bread Recipes”
