There’s something so comforting about a homemade cake—and when it’s made with simple pantry staples like sooji (semolina), it becomes even more special. This eggless sooji cake is soft, moist, and flavored with Chukde Green Elaichi for that warm, fragrant touch that makes every bite irresistible.

Here’s how you can make it at home:

📝 Ingredients

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup curd (dahi)
• ¼ cup oil
• ½ tsp Chukde Green Elaichi powder (crush 4–5 pods)
• 1½ cups fine sooji
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup milk
• 2–3 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)

🥣 Method

1. In a bowl, whisk together curd, oil, powdered sugar, and Chukde elaichi powder until smooth.
2. Stir in sooji, baking powder, baking soda, and milk. Mix well into a thick batter.
3. Pour into a greased baking tin and sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Let it cool, slice, and enjoy this fragrant, fluffy treat!

💡 FAQs

Q. Can I skip the elaichi?

You can, but Green Elaichi adds a rich, traditional aroma and makes the cake taste authentic.

Q. Can I use rava instead of fine sooji?

Use fine sooji for the best texture. Rava might make the cake slightly coarse.

Q. How do I store this cake?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Q. Can I make this without an oven?

Yes! Bake it in a thick-bottomed pan on low flame with a lid for about 40 minutes, checking occasionally.

✨ Pro Tip: Always use fresh, aromatic Chukde Green Elaichi for the best flavor—its naturally strong, citrusy aroma takes this cake to another level!
