MANGO AND DRIED CRANBERRY EGGLESS CAKE
Serves: 5-6
Time: 50 mins
Ingredients
2 cup all purpose flour/ chapatti flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup mango puree
1/4-1/2 cup water
1/4 + 2 tbsp oil
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup sugar, I used less ( or depend on sweetness of mango too)
2 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp mango essence ( optional)
1/4 tsp yellow food color( optional, if your mangoes are not enough yellow)
Method:
First of all grease a baking pan and dust it with some flour, keep it aside.
Mix well flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together, then add dried cranberries and again mix, so that cranberries do not sink in bottom. keep it aside for later use.
Now take mango puree, sugar, oil , vanilla essence, mango essence, food colour and whisk till nice fluffy and sugar is melted.
Add flour mixture in 2-3 batches , add 1/4 cup water at a time and fold it to make a lump less smooth batter.
Add water as per need to get idli batter like consistency.
* If you are using all purpose flour then less water is needed but for whole wheat flour or chapatti flour , much water is needed. I used 1/2 cup water.
Pour in greased baking pan lined with butter paper. Tap to release any air bubble formed.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180degree C for 40-50mins, or till tooth pick inserted in it comes out clean. Mine took exact 45 mins, so keep an eye on it after 35mins as different oven take different time.
*Time also depends on baking pans, size and shape.
Let it cool for 5 mins then invert on a wire rack.
Let it cool completely before slicing, to get neat slices.
Your super yummy and healthy cake slices are ready to go with your cup of tea.
Enjoy these scrumptious sweet treat any time. It's good for kids tiffin and mid meal hunger sprang.
*You can use any any dry fruits of your choice.
*You can increase or decrease the quantity of sugar as per your taste and sweetness of mangoes.
*You can also use any shape of baking pan, I used loaf pan,but then baking time may change, so be cautious while baking and keep checking in between.
