Rava Cake – Marathi Recipe

Instructions

• In a bowl, take ghee. If you want to use butter instead of ghee, then use 1/2 cup soft butter.
• Add sugar and beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and light.
• Add rava. Rava must be raw. Do not roast it. Though this is fine rava, put it in blender pot and blend once.
• Blending gives a nice texture to the cake while baking. You can avoid blending if you don’t want it.
• Mix everything well together. Add yogurt. It should be at room temperature. Do not use freeze cold yogurt. Mix well again.
• Add water, vanilla essence. If you are using vanilla extract add 1 tsp extract.
• If you don’t have vanilla essence or extract, you can use cardamom powder or nutmeg powder.
• Mix everything well together again. No lumps of rava should be formed.
• Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• We have to preheat the pressure cooker.
• Spread a thin layer of salt or baking soda at the bottom of the pressure cooker.
• Put the dish that comes with the cooker in it.
• You can place any other dish too.
• Cover and preheat the cooker on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
• Add baking powder and baking soda. Mix well.
• Use the pot in which we cook dal or rice in a cooker. Put a wax paper at its bottom and grease it with oil really good.
• You can use ghee or butter instead of oil.
• Pour out the mixture in a greased pot. Spread evenly.
• Tap the pot a little to release air bubbles. Garnish with tutti frutti.
• You can use dry fruits instead of tuffi Frutti.
• Place the pot in the preheated cooker, cover, and bake on medium heat for about 35-40 minutes.
• You can bake the cake in the microwave. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 35-40 minutes.
• After baking for 40 minutes, the cake gets even browning from all sides and it leaves the sides of the pot.
• Insert a toothpick into the cake. If it comes out clean, it means the cake is baked.
• Let the cake cool down for about 10-15 minutes. Loosen the sides with the help of a knife. Flip over the cake on the cooling rack.
• Remove the wax paper.
• Let it cool down another 5-10 minutes and then cut it.
• Rava cake is already.
