Steps

1 hour

1

Ready all the ingredients
2

Since wheat bran flour has tendency to absorb moisture, first of all add some milk and malai to the bran flour and rest for 10 minutes.
3

Also add some warm milk into dates and raisins and rest for 10 minutes.
4

Ready the dry ingredients by sifting maida, soda, baking powder together.
5

Now mix all the wet ingredients.
6

Mix sugar and jaggery powder. Also add in essence and spice powders. Dust a cake tin and line the base with baking paper and keep ready. Preheat oven at 180°C.
7

Now mix the dry ingredients into the soaked bran flour. Also mix in the soaked dates and raisins. Add in the wet ingredients and mix. Mix gently by cut and fold method.
8

Do not overmix. Pour batter into the cake tin and bake at 180°C.
9

When knife comes out clean
take out the super aromatic soft cake onto a wire rack. Now bake the cupcakes also.
10

Garnish the cupcakes with dry bran flour for the nutty crunchy taste.
11

Unmould the cake and cupcakes on wire rack and cover them with a clean cloth to cool down completely.
12

Icing: Whip the cream using electric beater,until stiff peak are formed. Add in vanila essence for flavour.
13

Carefully slice the cake. Soak with sugar syrup. Cover and finish smoothly with whipped cream all over the cake. Remove all the gaurding papers.
14

Garnish as desired.
15

Chill the cake and cupcakes before cutting. I kept some without icing too, to relish with tea.
