No sugar, no egg, no maida cake – Healthy cake recipe without sugar, egg, and maida. This is a Gluten-free cake and has the option of making it Vegan too.
Sometime back when Madhu posted about this cake on Instagram, I bookmarked the recipe. Apart from the no sugar, no egg, no maida options what fascinated me more is, it is an easy blender cake. Yes, you can blend all the ingredients in a blender and bake it. How easy right! That too for a person like me who hates the elaborate process of mixing dry ingredients separately, wet ingredients separately, and then cleaning up all the mess!!
In the original recipe, Almond milk was added but since I didn’t have that in hand, I used normal milk. Since I am on a gluten-free diet now, I wanted to replace the atta with some gluten-free flour. I had some jowar flour with me. Since I had tried Jowar cookies before, I thought I will use that in this No sugar, gluten-free cake recipe.
Use good quality dates for the best results. Also, some dates tend to be a little sweeter, in that case, reduce the number of dates to 20.
The texture of the cake was slightly dense and sticky, but the taste was too good. It’s definitely a guilt-free indulgence. I can say it is a diabetic-friendly cake recipe, but please consult your doctor or nutritionist before having this cake.
Do read the notes section for some variations.
