Challenge:
We were supposed to bake a cake combine mango and chocolate flavored batter.It could either be a loaf,checker board cake or marble pattern.For the mango flavored batter we had the chice of using store bought pulp or fresh mango pulp.
What I did:
I chose the egg less version,used fresh mango pulp and halved the recipe exactly as I have only a small baking pan and chose to go with a two layered marbe pattern cake.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour/maida
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup mango pulp (I used one banganapalli mango)
1/8 cup milk
1/8 cup cocoa powder
1/4 vanilla bean scrapped
1/8 cup curd
3 tablespoon oil( I used sunflower oil)
A pinch of salt
Method:
1. In a large mixing bowl,mix all the wet ingredients along with sugar an cream well.In another bowl sift all the dry ingredients except cocoa and set aside.
2.Add the dry ingredients to wet one's and slowly incorpoarate. Start whisking into batter until ribbon consistency. This is the basic mango flavored batter
3.Mix cocoa powder with milk,add half of the cake batter and choclate flavored batter is ready.
4.Preheat oven at 176C for ten minutes.In a greased cake tin,first pour the mango flavored batter.spread evenly,next pour the chocolate flavored batter.Using a knife create swirls for marble effect.Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.Cool in a wire rack.
