MANGO SEMOLINA EGGLESS CAKE

Hello everyone

Being king of fruits, mango really justifies its honour. We can use it in so much way . I am having lots of mangoes sitting in my fridge that's why for using it generally I used to make mango shakes for my kids, as my fussy eater too like it. But making same stuff again and again is so boring. So break this boredom I made mango shrikhand few days back and it turned out superbly yummy that everyone relished it to the core. Now again question arose what to make next 🤔. Then idea of baking a mango cake came but in  some different way as I made normal mango cake last month. Tried this semolina mango cake and it turned out so soft and moist that it got finished in no time. My lil fussy eater too loved it. 

Stepwise recipe is given below. Do try and don't forget to share your experience with me☺️

MANGO SEMOLINA EGGLESS CAKE

Serves: 4-5 

Time: 50 mins.

Ingredients 

1 1/4 cup semolina/ Rawa/ sooji

1 big ripe mango, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup oil

1/2 cup milk

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

Few drops of yellow edible color ( optional)

Some sliced almonds to sprinkle

Method: 

First of all mix semolina, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Keep aside for later use. 

Take baking mold of your choice, Grease and dust it with flour. Line it with butter paper ( optional) and keep aside.

Take mango slices and sugar in blender jar and blend to nice creamy puree. It will yield approx 1 cup of puree.

 Now add oil and milk in it and again blend to get smooth and fluffy batter. 

Pour in a big bowl, now add dry and wet ingredients together and fold to make lumpless smooth batter. 

Pour batter in baking mold, tap a little. Now sprinkle sliced almonds all over it. Let it rest for 5-7 mins.

Now bake it in a preheated oven at 180 degree C for 30-35 mins. Mine took exactly 35 mins but keep your eyes on it after 25 mins as different oven have different baking time. 

Keep checking with a tooth pick or knife by inserting it in middle of cake. If tooth pick comes out clean then your cake is done otherwise bake it for few more minutes. 

Now take your cake out of oven and let it sit for 5 mins. Demold and let it cool on a wire rack. 

Slice and serve with a cup of tea or pack it in your picnic basket. Ideal for travel snacks and kids tiffin too. Bake this super easy soft and moist cake any time and enjoy.

**Never over bake your cake. It makes cake very dry and chewy. So keep checking.

**Your cake batter should neither be runny nor too thick. So add milk as required , don't pour all at a time , add half at one go. If you feel your final batter is too thick then add remaining milk and fold to get right consistency. As it depend on consistency of mango puree you are using. Mine was nice thick so I used all milk. 

* you can also use tutti fruity, cherries or any dryfruits to make your cake more rich and palatable. I skipped as my lil one hates any additional crunch in his cake😁.

* you can increase sugar too as I made mild sweet. Sugar also depend on sweetest of mango. So use accordingly. But this much is perfect for tea time snacks.

This is so easy to bake that even a first time baker can bake without fail. Do try and pour your valuable comments and suggestions here, they meant a lot.

NO BAKE BLUEBERRY CHEESE CAKE WITH OATS AND DATES BASE

Hello everyone

Yesterday I bought some blueberries on my daughter's demand. Though this fruit is not so often bought at my home so thought to use it in some different way too, instead of eating as it is only. Then thought why not to make its cheesecake to celebrate Father's Day , instead of making my regular cake.

But also tried to give some healthy innovative touch to its base by using oats and dates for it. My lil fussy eater too loved its creamy rich texture and relished it without much nakhrey. 

Stepwise recipe is given below, do try and don't forget to share your experience with me.

NO BAKE BLUEBERRY CHEESE CAKE WITH OATS AND DATES BASE

Ingredients 

2 lt milk 

2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar 

1/2 cup fresh strawberry blueberries 

1 can condensed milk ( 400 ml)

8 gm agar agar( China grass)

1 cup water

1 1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup deseeded soft dates 

Some blueberries for garnishing

Method:

First of all boil milk, then add lemon juice or vinegar , little by little till it get cuddle. Then strain it in a muslin or any fine cotton cloth. Wash it under tap water to remove sourness of vinegar or lemon from cheese. Then squeeze it well and hang some where for at least 1 hr to drain excess water in it. Now your cheese is ready to use.

Meanwhile dry roast oats till little golden , take care not to burn it. Let it cool.

Now take oats and dates in mixer jar and churn to get nice crumbly dough. You can also add some butter or ghee in it, if you like ( I skipped).

Now spread it in a greased pan lined with parchment paper or use springform baking pan of your choice. Press with a spatula to get firm and even thickness base.

*You can also use biscuit base instead of oats one. Just take 20-25 plain biscuits and make its powder, add butter or ghee to it. Make crumbly dough and make base as told earlier.

Now keep it in fridge for 30 mins or in freezer for 10 minutes.

Soak agar agar strips in water for at least 20 mins. Then take 1 cup of water in a pan, add soaked agar agar discarding soaked water and boil. After boiling, lower the flame and let it simmer till agar agar get completely dissolved in water. 

Now take cheese, condensed milk and blueberries in a blender jar and churn to get nice smooth silky thick paste.

Now in cheese bluueberry mixture add agar agar liquid. Mix well and pour it on prepared base evenly. Tap the pan to remove any air bubble formed . 

 Keep the pan in freezer for 30 mins or keep in fridge for atleast 3-4 hr.  For demolding , run a clean knife along its sides so that it leave the edges of pan then carefully lift it and place on a plate. Decorate it with blueberries and Cut in desired shape and serve chilled. 

I made some heart shaped cheese cakes from same mixture in chocolate mold to decorate my cake, you can also make or skip .

 

**Be careful with agar agar, as it can set at room temp too. So don't keep it for long after cooking other wise it will set itself. Always dissolve it when everything is ready.

This is so creamy and scrumptious desserts that can make you star of any party you are hosting. Just try once you will never regret. 

Hope you all will definitely give it a try and pour your queries, comments and suggestions ,they meant a lot to me.
