Steps

35-40 minutes

1

Add 100 gms Amaranth to a mixer & blend into a fine powder.
2

In a bowl, mix together powdered Amaranth, 50 gms roasted oats powder, 4 tbsp sugar, a pinch of salt, 2 tbsp coconut oil, 1 cup buttermilk & 2 cups fresh cream.
3

Then add orange zest, 5-6 chopped cashews, 1/2 tsp rose essence. Mix it well & remove all the lumps.
4

In a bowl mix 4-5 chopped apricots with 2 tbsp wheat flour and let it coat nicely. This will prevent the apricot pieces from falling when we cut the cake and the apricots will stick to the cake nicely.
5

Now add these apricots to the cake batter, add 1/2 tsp baking soda & 1 tsp baking powder and mix well.
6

Take silicon molds of different shapes. Add batter up to 3/4th of the mold as to allow the remaining space for the cake to rise.
7

Place the mold in pre-heated oven at 200 degrees for around 20-25 minutes. Once baked remove the cakes from the oven & molds.
8

Mix 2 tbsp honey & pinch of cardamom powder. Glaze the cakes with this mixture. Serve.
