EGGLESS KIWI CAKE

Hello everyone

Cakes....this name brings water in mouth of every sweet tooth fellow like me. Though I am not a huge fan of too much calorie laden, ganache or cream laden cakes , so used to bake simple naked caked to hog on , with different flavours. Today I saw three kiwis sitting in my fridge and as they are little sour to eat as it is, so I thought why not to bake some cake out of it . And viola it turned out so distinctly yummy that you can't stop at only one slice. Little tangy and crispness of its seeds lead this cake to another level. This is really so easy to bake with handful of ingredients and is super delicious to eat. 

Step wise recipe is given below, do try and don't forget to tell me how's it turned out for you.

EGGLESS KIWI CAKE

Serves: 4-5

Time: 45 mins

Ingredients 

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour/ chapatti flour

3 kiwis peeled ( two pureed, one round sliced )

1/4 cup water

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

1 tsp vanilla essence 

3 tbsp yogurt mixed with 1 tbsp water

Now add dry ingredients in wet ingredients in two or three batches and keep folding to get a nice lumpless batter. 

If it looks too dry , you can add some more water to get idli type consistency batter. Don't over mix after adding wet and dry ingredients together, just cut and fold to get perfect batter. 

Pour into baking pan and tap to release any air bubble trapped into batter.

Bake it at 180 degree C in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or till knife or skewer inserted in its middle , comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let it sit for 10-15 minutes then invert on a wire rack, to cool completely.

HEALTHY MANGO , KIWI AND STRAWBERRY POPSICLES, WITHOUT ADDITIVES

Yield: 12-14 Popsicles, depend on size of mold

Time: 10 mins ( leaving freezing time)

Ingredients 

2 big size , nice ripe mangoes, roughly chopped

2 kiwis, peeled and roughly chopped 

250 gms strawberries ( fresh or frozen)

Sugar to taste ( depend on sweetness of mango), I used 4 tbsp for mango and 2 tbsp for kiwi and 2 tbsp for strawberries

Method:

Take mango , sugar and some water, if needed ,in a blender and churn to nice thick smooth paste.

Similarly make paste of kiwi & strawberries, sugar and some water( separately)

 

** Don't add too much water as we want nice thick paste like idli batter not runny liquid. Too much of water may lead to excess ice crystals in your final outcome and they will also mix with each other and you will not get nice patterned Popsicle.

Now pour spoon full of the prepared mango paste in Ice cream molds then kiwi paste and then strawberry paste and place the mold sticks . You can make as many layers of desired thickness . Now keep it in freezer overnight or minimum 6-7 hrs.

Now demold Popsicles  by putting mold under running water. Serve and see the happiness on faces , without any guilt.

* Your prepared paste should be thick like idli batter. 

* If you paste is not thick enough then don't worry, keep it in freezer for 20-30 mins or till it become enough thick. But don't keep for more than 1 hr as it will become solid to pour .

*You can also use canned mango pulp, nearly 1 cup.

* Adjust sweetness as per your taste.

* You can also add some fruit chunks if your kids like, as mine are so fussy to have fruit chunks in their Popsicle so I avoided. 

* You can also use any other fruit of your choice to make it more personalized to your Taste buds

Hope you will like to try this guilt free healthy popsicle recipe for your kids and family.

Your easy peasy summer cooler mango ,kiwi and strawberry Popsicle is ready to serve. It's so easy and quick that you can daily prepare new flavors for your kids.

 Enjoy it and please pour your valuable comments and suggestions . I will always like to reply your queries regarding recipe. So please keep asking if any confusion.
