This is a favorite in Zanzibari Kitchens. It literally translate to Bread made with eggs. As its soft and spongy it is consumed in the morning or at teatime. It's a quick treat to make as it's ready in 30 minutes.
Some people like to garnish it with Raisins on top, I beg to differ like it plain.
Ingredients:
6 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 white wholewheat flour
2 teaspoons of powdered cardamom.
1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
Optional: Essence - vanilla
1/4 cup raisins.
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.Grease a round cake mold with PAM.
2.In a bowl beat the eggs, sugar and cardamom powder and the optional essence with a hand held beater approx 5 minutes or until the eggs have peaked.
3.In a different smaller bowl mix the baking powder with the flour then slowly add it to the egg mixture while your still beating the mixture.
4.Pour the mixture into the baking pan and bake for 20 minutes. To check for readiness the toothpick shouldnt be wet once pricked in the center of the cake.
5.Remove from the oven and let cool. It's ready to serve with Chai.
Variation: Garnishing with raisins.
When you pour the mixture in the baking pan add the raisins on top.
