Grease a 6x6 inches square pan with softened butter. You can also use a 5 to 6 inches round pan.

Step 2

In a seive, take the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Keep the sieve on top of a mixing bowl or pan.

Step 7

In another small frying pan or skillet, take unsalted butter, water and sugar.

Step 8

Keep the pan on a stovetop and on a low flame heat this mixture.

Step 9

The butter will melt initially. Do stir occasionally.

Step 10

Bring this mixture to a boil.

Step 11

Once the mixture comes to a boil, then remove the pan and pour the entire boiling hot mixture in to the flour mixture.

Step 12

With a wired whisk, begin to mix lightly.

Step 13

Mix with light pressure, so that over mixing does not happen.

Step 16

Gently shake the pan or tap the sides.

Step 17

Place the pan in a preheated oven. Bake at 180 degrees celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 19

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.

Step 23

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.

First, transfer the cooled cake to a box. In cooler climates, the cake can be kept at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.

Step 25

In warmer or hotter climates, refrigerate the cake immediately. This cake stays good for about a week in the fridge.
