Ingredients

- 1½ cups of fine sooji
- 2 tablespoons of chopped cashews
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon pineapple or butterscotch essence
- ¼ teaspoon of cardamom powder
- ¾ cup plain yogurt
- ⅓ cup of any vegetable oil
- ½ cup & 1 tablespoon tutti frutti, divided
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

How to Prepare

- First of all dry blend the fine sooji in a blender. You need to blend it for only 1 minute. This way the sooji will become finer and this will help in baking a soft and spongy cake.
- Now transfer the sooji to a large mixing bowl and add cardamom powder along with sugar.
- After this, whisk the yogurt. Add the whisked yogurt, oil and ¼ cup of milk into the same mixing bowl.
- Add pineapple essence or butterscotch essence.
- Mix everything well until everything gets combined. Keep the cake mixture aside for 15 minutes.
- Soon you will see that the sooji thickens up after absorbing all the milk and yogurt.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
- Spread parchment paper in the cake tin and then dust some loose flour over the bottom of the cake tin.
- After 15 minutes, add the remaining ¼ cup of milk into the cake mixture.
- Now add ½ cup tutti frutti and mix until well until combined.
- Now add baking powder and baking soda. Mix well for 2-3 minutes.
- Now transfer the cake batter immediately to the prepared 8-inch round pan. Top with chopped cashews into the tin and top it with some chopped cashews and 1 tablespoons of tutti frutti..
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F degrees. After 30 minutes take out the cake and insert a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean then the cake is properly baked else you'll need to bake for 5-10 more minutes.
- Take out the cake from the oven and let it cool down on its own.
- Once the cake cools down, remove it from the cake tin and serve.
Tips To Remember
- Make sure you use only fine sooji for preparing this cake else the cake may not be uniform in texture.
- You can also add eggs or chocolate essence.
- You can replace the pineapple or butterscotch essence with vanilla extract.
