Eggless Black Currant Mini Bundts made with whole wheat flour and jaggery.
After a row of eggless cookies, here comes a cake that I sent across virtually to my sister on her birthday.
I have a thing for bundt cakes and love collecting bundt pans. This small one is my favorite and I have used in many cake recipes here. It is a mini bundt pan and the cakes looks so cute when baked in it.
The inspiration for this cake comes from Priya’s post in this edition and I still wonder why it never struck me to use the blackcurrants in a cake!
Blackcurrants have been used to make Christmas cake and other bakes but always along with other dried fruits but never alone!
I used the Eggless whole wheat jaggery cake recipe here and used the black currants that I had in stock for quite a long time.
Even though I have used whole wheat flour, the cake is extremely spongy and has an awesome texture!
While I was baking this cake, the power went off suddenly as soon as the first batch was done and I had to wait for almost 45 minutes to bake the second batch. I had kept the batter covered till it was ready to go back into the oven.
Luckily, the second batch turned out as good as the first batch.But by the time the cakes cooled down, the sun was fast setting and there was not enough light to click the pictures.
I knew I couldn’t save the cakes for the next day as the kids were ready to pound on it! So I clicked with whatever light was available and I am going to make this again for the kids and the clicks!
