Since I came from India I stayed at my mother’s home but one week ago I moved to a new place. I’m sharing apartment with my brother Ezequiel.

So much cleaning went on during the last days but everything is done now so I can concentrate in the kitchen work, hehehe.

I wanted to see how the oven worked so I baked THIS simple but delicious cake that I served with spiced hot milk.

Here is the recipe:

OAT CAKE
2 cups oat flour
1 cup rice flour or wheat flour (I make it wheat-free following ayurvedic reccomendations, but wheat gives a better consistency. Short-grain brown rice flour is the best, but I don’t get it in Malaga)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspon dry ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
300 gr butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup raisings
1 cup chopped apples

GARNISH
1/2 cup “dulce de leche” (cooked sweetened milk… it’s similar to burfi but more creamy. It’s an Argentinian product and one of the few things I know from my origin place:))
coconut powder

1. Sift dry ingredients together

2. In another bowl, cream the butter with the sugar and add the milk. If you want to add some vanilla essence or similar, now it’s the time.

3. Stir into the flour mixture and add more milk if required.

4. Add the raising and the apples and mix gently.

5. Pour the mixture into a buttered pan.

6. Pre-heat the oven to 140 degrees C and bake for 40 minutes. Test to be sure the cake is finished.

7. Decorate with the sweet milk icing and coconut as in the picture.

Note: if you can’t get the sweet milk you can put some fruit jam or lemon-icing on the top… or simply leave it as it is.

I will explain how to make the “dulce de leche” and some other icings in the future
