Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 1.5 cup
White sugar - 3/4 cup
Baking powder - 2 tsp
Cardamon powder - grind 2 pods
Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Whole milk - 1/4 cup or more
Vegetable oil [canola oil] - 2 tbsp
Butter [un-salted]- 4 tbsp
2 Large eggs

Method:


Preparation of peach layer:
First we will slice the peaches with skin and add 1 tbsp of table sugar to it.
Take 1/4 cup sugar in a thick bottomed pan and heat it with 2 tbsp water and warm the mixture on medium heat, the sugar will start melting and bubbling

Next add the peaches and cook in sugar for 5 minutes at medium heat.

Take a 8 x 8 inch pan and grease it thoroughly [otherwise the cake will stick at the bottom] and pour the cooked peaches and arrange it properly to cover the surface. Now proceed for next step

Preparation of cake
Sift all purpose flour, baking powder, cardamon powder and salt and keep it aside

In a different bowl whisk the following
  • Butter for 3 minutes [at medium speed]
  • add sugar and whisk at medium speed for 3 minutes
  • now add egg one by one and which each time for 1 minute
  • next add oil and vanilla essence and whisk for 30 seconds
Add the dry ingredients to above whisked batter. Mix it gently. If the batter looks thick, add cold milk to adjust consistency [the batter should not be very thin either]

Pour the batter on the peach slices and bake at the center of oven for 30-40 minutes

Update (09-05-2011):

One of my reader asked how many peaches I used for the cake. Here is the picture of the pan with peaches

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm
