  • Add sweetened condensed milk to the sifted flour.
  • Add vanilla extract.
  • Do not mix. Simply set aside.

Making butter solution

  • In another small frying pan or skillet, take unsalted butter, water and sugar.
  • Keep the pan on a stovetop and on a low flame heat this mixture.
  • The butter will melt initially. Do stir occasionally.
  • Bring this mixture to a boil.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, then remove the pan and pour the entire boiling hot mixture in to the flour mixture.

Making whole wheat cake batter

  • With a wired whisk, begin to mix lightly.
  • Mix with light pressure, so that over mixing does not happen.
  • Mix to a smooth batter. If there are small tiny lumps, then let it be. Do not over mix.
  • Now pour the cake batter in the greased cake pan.
  • Gently shake the pan or tap the sides.

Baking wheat cake

  • Place the pan in a preheated oven. Bake at 180 degrees celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 45 minutes to 1 hour. 
  • Oven temperatures are not same everywhere, so while baking do keep a check. Keep a time span of 30 minutes to 1 hour for baking this cake. You can check after 30 minutes if the cake is done or not.
  • Also please do not open the oven door until ¾ of the cake is done. 
  • The top should be golden and when you insert a tooth pick or wooden skewer in the atta cake, it should come out clean.
  • Let the wheat cake cool completely, before you serve it.

Serving suggestions

  • Slice and serve wheat cake as it is with milk, tea or coffee. You can also enjoy it as a sweet snack.
  • Or you can spread your favorite frosting (chocolate, whipped cream, buttercream) on the cake. Allow the frosting to set by refrigerating the cake. Later slice and serve.

Storage

  • First, transfer the cooled cake to a box. In cooler climates, the cake can be kept at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
  • In warmer or hotter climates, refrigerate the cake immediately. This cake stays good for about a week in the fridge.
