Walnuts contain important phytochemicals as well as high amounts of polyunsaturated fats which do offer potential benefits for both brain health and brain function.

Lot of Protein powders left in your kitchen rack, kids doesn't like the taste of the protein powder drinks, try this recipe..... It took 5 minutes for preparation and for baking  less than 40 minutes.

This recipe doesn't contain egg, condensed milk, maida, and i didn't use oven for baking.

I used D-Protein powder and wheat flour  to prepare this recipe....

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS:-

Wheat Flour - 1/3 cup                                                
Sugar - 1/3 cup
Slightly Warm milk - 1/3 cup
Clarified butter/Ghee - 1/3 cup
Protein Powder  - 1/4 cup
Fruit salt - 3/4 tsp
Pinch of Salt







METHOD:-

Before mixing the batter for cake, grease a tray with little ghee and sprinkle some wheat flour and set aside. In this recipe, I used SS lunch box.

Switch on the stove and place an aluminium Kadai or aluminium Pressure  Cooker.

Inside the vessel place a separator and set for baking in medium- high flame for 15 mintues.
No Powdered salt is used for baking.

In the meantime, prepare the batter for cake.

In a grinder jar, add sugar, wheat flour, protein powder (any brand) and grind, till the sugar is powdered and mixes with wheat flour and protein powder.

In a bowl, add milk and ghee and mix well. Don't worry if  the  milk  gets curdled form. Mix well.

To this milk-ghee mixture add the dry ingredients and mix well.

Now add the fruit salt.

Combine all ingredients using spoon and mix gently. Pour this batter in the tray greased for baking.

Turn the flame to low, and place this tray inside the vessel above the separator.  Cover it with lid/plate.

Bake for  20 minutes in low flame.

20 mins in low flame

Now increase the flame slightly, so that the flame touches the kadai/pressure cooker and bake for 5 to 10 minutes.  Check in between, to avoid the over burning.

Insert a tooth pick and check if it comes out clean, then the Protein wheat cake is baked else extend the time  ( 20 minutes to 30 minutes in low flame ) of cooking.

Once it is done, remove the tray from the burner and allow it to cool.

After 30 minutes, scrap the sides using knife, and it cool completely.

Tilt the tray  on plate and tap slightly.
 ( in a hurry of tasting it, i tilted it before it cools down)

The Soft-Spongy  Protein-Wheat cake is ready.

Cut into desired shapes and serve.....
