Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ghee melted
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp zest of orange freshly grated
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup plain thick yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla or orange essence

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
    Grease a small loaf pan (approximately 5"x2") with ghee or oil.
  • In a mixing bowl add the yogurt and baking soda.
    Mix them well and keep aside for about 10 mins till the soda reacts with curd and bubbles.
  • In the yogurt mixture add sugar, melted ghee, milk, vanilla/orange essence and mix well.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder, chocolate chips, orange zest and gently fold to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour in the batter and gently tap the loaf pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake for 30-35 mins till a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, let stand for a few minutes before serving with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
  • This eggless cake is perfect for a tea-time snack. It is more like a delicately flavored loaf than a cake.
