  • Grease a 6×6 inches square pan with softened butter. You can also use 5 to 6 inches round pan.
  • In a sieve, add 1 cup whole wheat flour (120 grams atta) and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Keep the sieve on top of a mixing bowl or pan.
  • Sift both the dry ingredients. Also preheat oven at 180 degrees celsius for 20 minutes.
  • Now add 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (125 ml or 125 grams).
  • Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Do not mix. Just keep aside.
  • In another pan, take 80 grams butter and 1/2 cup water.
  • Add 4 tablespoons sugar.
  • Keep the pan on the stovetop and on a low flame heat this mixture.
  • The butter will melt initially. Do stir occasionally.
  • Bring this mixture to a boil.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, then remove the pan and pour the entire boiling hot mixture into the flour mixture.
  • With a wired whisk, begin to mix lightly.
  • Mix with light pressure, so that over mixing does not happen.
  • Mix to a smooth batter. If there are small tiny lumps, then let it be. Do not over mix.
  • Now pour the cake batter in the greased square pan.
  • Gently shake the pan or tap the sides.

baking wheat cake

  • preheat oven at 180 degrees celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
  • Place the pan in a preheated oven. Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • In my oven, it took about 1 hour to bake. Yes, that long. Oven temperatures are not the same everywhere, so while baking do keep a check.
  • Also please do not open the oven door till 3/4th of the cake is done.
  • The top should be golden and when you insert a toothpick in the atta cake, it should come out clean.
  • Let the wheat cake become warm or cool completely before you serve it.
  • In cooler climates, the wheat cake can be kept at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. Do store in a box.
  • In warmer or hotter climates, refrigerate the cake. This whole wheat cake stays good for about a week in the fridge.

Notes

  • If you do not have unsalted butter, you can use salted butter too.
  • Substitute for butter is 1/3 cup oil. Can use a neutral-flavoured oil like sunflower oil or even olive oil can be used. Ghee can also be used instead of butter.
