Mango Upside Down Cake#BundtBakers

With the king of mangoes in season, I, love, this fruit the most since  they are available only in season, rest all fruits are seen throughout the year. I, have these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

For this month's Bundt Bakers event the theme is -Tropical Bundt. Our host of the month is Sandra Garth.  Thank you Sandra for hosting this month event. 

Then don't you think! This cake is ideal for hot summers. The top has a layer of caramelized mangoes  with a soft and delicious cake at the bottom.  Have used milk essence to make this cake, it gives a nice subtle flavor to the cake.  Do use this essence and you will definitely like it.

Arranging the slices of mango on the butter sugar mixture is painstaking, but, worth the effort once the cake is baked.

The left overs of the cake should be refrigerate or they will spoil.  A piece left on the dinning table did not smell nice the next day. 

Ingredients
For the Base
55 Grams Unsalted Butter
1/3 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

1/4 Teaspoon Milk Essence
A Pinch of Cardamon powder

3 Alphonso Mangoes - sliced

1 Teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice

For the cake
1.1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon Heaped Baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon Level Salt
75 Grams Unsalted Butter
3/4 Cup Milk
1/4 Teaspoon Milk Essence
1 Large Egg

Method
Sieve the flour with the baking powder, cardamon powder and salt. 

In a 7-inch bundt pan melt the butter on low flame.  When the butter melts add the brown sugar, cardamon and milk essence, mix it well. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool completely. 

Arrange the mango slices, slightly overlapping them, on the butter-sugar mixture. Sprinkle the mango slices with lemon juice. Keep aside.

Preheat the oven temperature 180 degree C.

In a bowl beat the butter, sugar and milk essence well, then add the egg and beat till well incorporated. Now add the flour and milk alternately till both are incorporated. Pour the batter over the layered mangoes slices and spread well. You may need to smoothen it out over the mango slices to spread evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

 Cool the cake in the pan for just  five minutes and then invert it onto a serving plate.  Let stand for a minute, before removing the pan. 

Serve warm. Beautiful cake, just didn't feel like slicing it.

Hmm this cake is so delicious, soft and yum.. Enjoy  this warm!!

Ingredients  
150 Grams All Purpose Flour
150 Grams Butter
150 Grams Caster Sugar
3 Eggs
1/2 Teaspoon Baking powder
A pinch of salt
1/2 Teaspoon Mixed Fruit Essence
200 Grams Mixed Fruits

1/4 Teaspoons Cake spice
100 Grams Semi Sweet Chocolate - melted
1 Tablespoon Coconut Milk - Can use normal Milk 

Method

These fruits are soaked in alcohol for year, whatever alcohol - can use what alcohol you wish. I soak 800 grams of mix fruits ( cranberries, cherries, mixed peels, black raisins, sultanas and prunes) in alcohol mix of rum, whisky, beer , vodka , bourbon. If you can't soak for a year then it should kept in alcohol for at least a month.

Before using this fruit mix, drain all the alcohol and then add 100 grams each of cashew and almonds chopped. Mix it well. Took 200 grams from this mix.

Grease the bundts molds well. Keep aside

Mix the drained fruits with a tablespoon of flour and mix well keep aside.

Sieve the flour, salt, cake spice and baking powder well . Keep aside.  In a bowl break the eggs and keep aside.

Cream the butter till light and fluffy then add the caster sugar in batches and continue beating till the batter turns creamy, add an egg at a time and continue beating till all the eggs are incorporated. Now add the essence, melted chocolate and coconut milk continue beating. Add the sieved flour again in batches and on low speed continue beating. When all the flour is incorporated, add the alcohol, fruits and fold in with a spatula gently till the fruits are well mixed into the batter. 

Pour this into the prepared bundt molds,  bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or till a skewer comes our clean.

When the cake is out of the oven immediately take a tablespoon of the drained alcohol pour it over every bundt. Let them cool completely and then un-mold. Sprinkle them with icing sugar.  

 Enjoy these yummy bundts.

 Can serve these as a dessert too with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.. yum yum...

Gluten Free Flourless Carrot Cake#BundtBakers

There is a bite of goodness in every piece of cake that you enjoy. This cake is so light, moist and nutty. Made this cake with Cashew Meal.. yes.ss you have read it correctly cashew meal. So easy to make. 

Not like Almond Meal, wherein it requires soaking, peeling and drying. There is no such process in making cashew meal, more so ever this is widely and easily available all over India and comparatively cheaper too. You can substitute this for any recipe that calls for Almond Meal. 

In this recipe I left it coarse and did not sieve it to make cashew flour. But if you wish you sieve it to get a fine powder / flour. Read the process carefully before you began to make it or else it turn to cashew butter.

Cashew flour is used in gluten-free cooking and baking. Since it is free of gluten, it can be used in much the same way almond flour or almond meal is used in cookies, muffins, and breads.

When Stacy our Host for this month's  Bundt Bakers asked us to bake a gluten free cake.  I, was very happy since this cake was on my to do list.  

In India, we get beautiful sweet, soft and juicy reddish pink carrots in winter.  These are apt for making a cake or sweet dishes.

Another note of caution when making this cake, please do not try to over turn this cake.  It just slipped off my mind that I, should not overturn this cake and it broke at the bottom.  Flourless cakes should not be overturned.  Slice them in the pan itself and then serve.  

If you  make it in a bundt pan use a loose bottom pan,  angel pan or any other loose bottom pan.  Most of all do not forget to warp the bottom with a aluminum foil right up to rim.  Since this batter is wet and slightly watery it will leak from the bottom and will cause fire in oven, so be very very cautious.  Place this pan in a tray and then bake.

Ingredients

140 Grams Grated Carrot- this weight is after grating

125  Grams Cashew Meal -  see recipe below

110 Grams  Brown Sugar

3 Small Eggs

1/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts 

1/4 Cup Oil

1/2 Teaspoon Level Baking powder

1/4 Teaspoon Level Baking soda

1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon powder

1/2 Teaspoon Ginger powder

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence

A Pinch of Nutmeg powder.

Method

In the cashew meal  mix in  cinnamon. nutmeg,ginger, baking  soda and baking powder.   Keep aside.

In a bowl, break the eggs, add the oil and essence and whisk till nice and frothy. 

Now add the sugar and continue whisking for 2 minutes.  Use a spatula and fold  in the cashew mix and carrot till well incorporated.   Sorry do no have a pic of the batter since my camera battery died down.

Pour this in an well greased bundt pan and bake in a preheated oven  at 180 degrees,  set the timer for 30 minutes. Leave this in the hot oven for 5 minutes. Take it our and let it cool overnight and then serve it the next day.  

Hubby and I enjoyed  this cake, a goodness in every bite.. awesome..

 Please to do frost this cake with cream cheese or anything else, it ruin the actual taste to this cake.

 Some cakes need to enjoyed just how they are.

How to Make Cashew Meal / Flour

Take the cashew nuts into a food processor or high-powered blender and pulse it at intervals until they're coarse and crumbly, but just make sure to stop before it turns to cashew butter.

The slightly coarse one is is cashew meal and for cashew flour this is fine just sieve it in a fine atta / flour sieve .. that's it ... cashew meal /cashew flour is ready to use.
