Strawberry Bundt Mousse Cake #BundtBakers

I made this Strawberry Bundt Mousse Cake for my hubby's birthday and also made a strawberry mirror glaze. But this cake with the mousse require's atleast 8 hours to set in the fridge, but gave it just 3 hours to set as the result the mousse it not set well, it was melting. To add to it the mirror glaze was also hot, both combine together it started melting. Had to cut the cake for the party, in the evening  - so a hurry scurry job... bad very bad...

Nevertheless the cake and mousse tasted great, my guest enjoyed it. Served this as a dessert. This cake requires at least 8 hours for the mousse to set and the mirror glaze should warm while pouring,  give it time to set in the refrigerator,  for at least  and hour or two after it is poured on the mousse ..then will be perfect.

Ingredients

For the Cake
1.3/4 Cups Caster Sugar
100 Grams Strawberry jelly packet
200 Grams Salted Butter -softened
4 Eggs
2-3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tablespoons Corn flour
2 Teaspoons Baking powder
1/2 Cup Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
1/2 Cup Strawberry puree 

For the Mousse

5 Tablespoon Sugar

3 Teaspoons Cornflour

300  ML Milk

4 Egg - yolks only

1 Tablespoon Gelatin

1/4 Cup Water

250 Ml Whipped Cream

1/4 Teaspoon Strawberry essence


Method
Seive the all purpose flour, corn flour and baking powder, keep aside.

Grease a 9" Bundt pan and also a 6" bundt pan- since this make 2 cakes.

Beat butter, sugar and strawberry jelly crystals until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Then add the vanilla essence and strawberry puree and continue to beat till incorporated. Now add the flour in three parts alternately with the milk. Beat on low speed till the flour and milk is incorporated. Divide the batter evenly between the greased pans. Bake at 180 degrees C for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in their pans over a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, before tapping out to cool completely.

For the mousse

In a small sauce pan add 1/4 cup water and sprinkle the gelatin and set it aside for soak for 10 minutes.  

In the meantime lets prepare the custard for the mousse

Mix the cornflour in 2 tablespoons milk and keep aside.

Heat the  milk in  a pan on  low flame.  When the milk comes to a boil add the sugar,  keep stirring, till  the sugar melts.    Whisk the egg yolks and add 1/2 cup of  hot milk and continue whisking till they are incorporated.  Now pour this egg mixture and the cornflour mix  into the remaining milk and whisk continuously place it back on low flame cook as you whisking till it forms a thick smooth custard.  Take off flame add the essence, place a cling film on the custard, keep aside to cool.

Now take the sauce pan  in which gelatin is soaked and place it on slow fire till it just begins melt.  Take off flame and let it cool.

Whip cream till stiff peaks form.

Pour the cool gelatin into the custard and whisk till well incorporated, fold in the whipped cream and pour half of it in the silicone mold that the cake was baked and place the cake press the cake lightly and pour the remaining on top.  Tap it lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.  Cover it with a cling film and keep it in the refrigerator to cool for at least 8 hours.  

After it it set peel off the mold and place it on a cake board and pour the warm mirror glaze on top.  Set it again in the refrigerator and serve cool..   This mousse cake with mirror glaze is so yummy.. you will not be able to stop eating at one piece that's for sure!! 

My Notes

I used around 10 big frozen strawberries and pureed them in a small blender.
The Bundt pan will take longer to bake then the 6 inch pan.

Lazy Daisy Bundt Cake#BundtBakers

This month for Bundt Bakers the theme if Filled Bundt.  Made this Lazy Daisy Cake which is an old-fashioned cake it's  light, moist, with a broiled brown sugar coconut topping.

It's my birthday cake, am so happy that it turned out delicious and melt in the mouth. 

Took the rectangular pan for the party with my friends. Oh! they were so delighted to see this yummy cake and as usual it vanished in minutes. 

This bundt cake was for my family. 
Happy Birthday!!  Celebrating with ... Lazy Daisy Cake.

Ingredients
3 Cups Flour
3 Teaspoons Baking powder
3 Cups Granulated sugar
6 Eggs
150 Grams Butter
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1.1/4 Cup Warm Milk

For the Topping
1 Cup Flaked Coconut or Desiccated Coconut
1 Cup Brown sugar
2/3 Cup Fresh Cream
150 Grams Butter

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180 D.

Oil and dust with flour a silicone bundt mould, keep aside.

Sieve flour and baking powder, keep aside.

Beat eggs, granulated sugar and 100 grams butter, and vanilla essence in a large bowl until fluffy, add flour mixture, beat until blended, stir in milk, pour batter into prepared pan, bake for 50 minutes to an hour or more or when tooth pick inserted comes out clean. 

In my oven it took an hour and 15 minutes, since this batter is thin. After 45 minutes, covered the pan with a aluminium foil till done so that the top does not get too brown or burnt.

The rectangular pan took about 45 minutes to bake.

Now spread the topping and bake it again for 10 minutes.

For the Topping

Meanwhile mix remaining 100 grams butter, coconut, brown sugar and cream in medium sauce pan, over medium heat, cook until sugar dissolves and butter melts, stirring constantly, spread coconut mixture over warm cake, bake for another 10 mins until top is light golden.

Cool it completely then un mould and slice it.

Enjoy...
My Notes:
I made one in the bundt pan and the other in a rectangular pan with the above quantity.

Have used desiccated coconut, If,  you can get hold of flaked coconut it will give the topping an awesome texture and look.

Basic Plain Cake # BundtBakers

This is the best basic recipe for simple, fluffy, moist plain  cake, perfect for evening tea.  This is an East Indian Cake where in both semolina and all purpose flour is used.  This cake batter is prepared at night and baked next day morning.  My mother used to make us stir this cake with granulated sugar and we use to stir it with big wooden stick with round dome at the bottom.  I  used the electric blender to make  the batter.   Prepared the batter early in the morning and baked it in the evening. 

My father loved this cake, he used to have it for tea.  I took this recipe from my Aunt who still prepares this cake the traditional way.  This is totally different recipe and it taste delicious.  

Preapred one in the Bundt pan and rest of the batter in a square pan for our Khichdi party.   

Ingredients
250 Grams Fine Semolina
200 Grams All Purpose Flour
500 Grams Granulated Sugar
400 Grams Butter - I used salted 
8 Large Eggs
1 + 1 Teaspoon  Vanilla essence
1 Teaspoon Heaped Baking powder 

Method
Mix the semolina and flour together, keep aside.

In a large bowl  cream the butter and sugar till light and creamy,  add an egg at a time and continue beating till all the eggs are incorporated.  Then add a teaspoon of vanilla essence and continue beating.  Add the semolina mix a curry spoon at a time and continue beating at low speed till all the semolina and flour is well incorporated.  Cover this bowl with a clean cloth and keep it overnight or for at least 8 hours.  

After 8 hours  preheat the oven to 180 degrees.  

Oil the baking pans well.

Add the baking powder and remaining teaspoon of vanilla  essence, mix it well into then batter, pour this into the prepared baking pans and bake for around 40 - 45 minutes or till a skewer insert come out clean.

Cool the cake, then un mold it. 

 I dusted the bundt cake with icing sugar which is not needed, just for a good pic..  

Slice the bundt cake,  as we enjoying this cake, I remembered my dad and  mum and missed them so much.  Shared all my memories of them with hubby and daughter.

Thank you Felice for choosing this awesome theme, revived all those special and wonderful times spent with our parents.

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
2 Tablespoons Yogurt
1/2 Cup Chocolate chips

Method

Preheat the oven at  190  degrees

Sieve together flour baking powder baking soda add salt and caster sugar mix well. Add chocolate chips to it and keep aside

Take a bowl beat together egg,  yogurt and  oil  well for about 4 to 5 minutes,  add mashed bananas beat them again for 2 to 3 minutes.  Add dry flour mixture, little at a time and gently fold it until all the flour is incorporated.

Eggless Bundt Anise Pound Cake #BundtBakers

After reading the title of the this cake you will definitely wonder, a veg cake with Anise liqueur !, yes but that's true, since I, made this cake for my friend Iyengar's birthday. He is a vegetarian but has booze. Once when I asked him you do not eat cake with eggs but have booze, he said that's made with fruits so it's veg.

The subtle flavor of Anise, was loved by everyone, even those who do have liqueur.  This subtle hint of anise is one that me and my friends have truly come to adore. This Eggless Anise Pound Cake, is luscious, light and a moist cake infused with touches of anise, with a frosting of Cream Cheese and Anise White Chocolate Ganache was divine. The frosting is not so perfect as I, wanted it, but the cake was hot and I had to frost it. I finished frosting this cake at 11.45 pm and then kept it in freezer to set. Next day earlier morning took it to our trekkers group celebration of Iyengar's birthday.

Jasmine Tea Savarin #BundtBakers

A savarin cake is an yeasted cake. Our host Felice Geoghegan , choose the theme "Bundts with yeast as the leavening agent". When I seen this theme was very happy since I, always wanted to make a savarin cake. I gave this a twist by making it with Jasmine tea. Thought that this cake will have a strong jasmine flavor, but, that was not so.

Joined the group of bundt bakers this month, thanks you friends for welcoming me into this group.  This is my first post and enjoyed trying out  this yeasted cake or else would not have ventured baking this cake.  It's a must try cake and is excellent to serve as a dessert. 

Ingredients

100 Ml Milk
1 Teaspoon Jasmine Tea
7 Grams Instant Yeast

1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
1/4 Teaspoon Baking powder
150 Grams All Purpose Flour
2 Eggs
50 Grams Butter - room temperature
1/2  Teaspoon Salt
For the Syrup
200ml  Water

1 Teaspoon Jasmine Tea
1/2 Cup  Granulated Sugar

Method

Boil the milk, add the jasmine tea  and let it rest covered till it comes to room temperature. 

In a large bowl ( I used the food processor) add the milk, yeast, sugar , eggs and essence, whisk for a minute or two. Then add the flour, a tablespoon at a time and whisk till all the flour is incorporated and forms a smooth batter.  Then  add the  butter and continue whisking  until it is all incorporated and you have a wet, glossy dough. Carry on beating for about two minutes. 

Cover the bowl with cling film. Leave to rise  till it doubles. Left it in food processor bowl since I, did not want to waste any batter by pouring it into a another bowl.

Oil an  8 inch savarin mould well and dust it flour , keep aside.

When the cake dough doubles , stir the dough to knock out the air bubbles and spoon it into the mould.

In the meantime preheat the oven to 200C.

Leave the savarin in a draught-free spot to prove. 

When it has doubled in size, bake for 25 minutes until puffed, crisp,  golden on the surface and as you can see it has left the sides of the mould.

In the meantime while the savarin is baking let's prepare the  syrup.
Boil the jasmine tea and sugar,  till it comes to a a rolling boil, then mix it well when the sugar dissolves take off flame.  Then pass through a sieve and keep aside. 

When the  savarin  cools, then turn the  out onto a shallow serving dish.

Pour over the syrup. 

Decorate with the assorted fresh fruit.  Serve with crème fraîche, ice cream and  assorted fresh fruits.

See how light and spongy it is.. looks tempting na..

In the evening when my hubby went for his evening walk told him to get his favorite icecream.  He bought a pack of butterscotch icecream. 

  

I served this as a dessert with butterscotch ice cream and assorted fresh fruit.  This was a divine combination.
