Mini cakes in appe pan
Mini sweet spongy eggless cakes in my Ebelskiver pan...when you dont want to bother baking in an oven , when you need small portion sized treats, when you dont want to feel guilty!! Kids will love this, great way of making small mini cake pops , to send with school snack box...there are a zillion ways to decorate, I just dusted with powdered cinnamon sugar .
Basic cake batter ( reduce the qty if making a small trial batch..) You can halve the recipe for a small batch.
I think I am going to be doing this more often whenever I feel like having small portions of cake and there is no wastage too.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup condensed milk
4 tbsp melted butter /or oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 -5 tbsp milk
Method
Sift the dry ingredients well.Keep aside. In a bowl, mix the wet ingredients..oil/melted butter, milk, condensed milk, whisk well.
Then add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold like usual cake batter. Batter consistency to be of a thick pouring consistency. so adjust batter with little more milk till you get the right consistency.
Then heat the Ebelskiver pan / paniyaram pan reduce flame, quickly pour the batter in each of the greased well about 3/4 full as batter will rise, cover and cook/bake till done...should take less than 10 minutes.check for colour of cake by turning over with a skewer, if it is browned and inside cooked , remove.
You can also place a heavy tava on the bottom and keep the appe pan/ebelskiver pan on top, let it heat up and proceed.
This reduces the chances of cakes getting darkened quickly.
