MAKE AN EGGLESS MANGO CAKE WITHOUT OVEN AT HOME

Hello Friends,
It is lockdown time and most of us are spending a lot of time experimenting in kitchen. I baked a mango cake recently and I am going to share its recipe in this blog-post.

MANGO
Summers are up and so is the mango season! Mangoes are everyones' favourite and are hence, righteously called as KING OF FRUITS. Mangoes add the sweet memories of summers in our life's annual chapters! Just the name of it, is so mouth-wateringly tempting! It's not only a word but also a feeling! The mesmerisingly sweet emotion that we all can relate to!

So, let's begin with the recipe of our yummy Mango Cake!

MOUTH-WATERING MANGO CAKE:

Preparation time : 15 Minutes (Including frosting, glazing)

Baking time : 22-25 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:
MANGOES - Two big sized sweet-mangoes.
SUGAR - 3/4 Cup
WATER - 1 + 1/2 Cups
MILK - 1/2 Cup
COOKING OIL - 1/2 Cup
ALL PURPOSE FLOUR (MAIDA) - 1+1/4 Cups
BAKING POWDER - 1 Teaspoon
BAKING SODA - 1/2 Teaspoon
VANILLA ESSENCE - 1 Teaspoon
CREAM - 1/2 Cup
CONDENSED MILK - 1/4 Cup

FOR MAKING CAKE'S BATTER:
1. Take a medium sized grinding jar and add about 1/2 cup of mangoes and 1/4th cup of milk and blend them well for a minute.
2. Now in the same jar, add 1/2 cup of cooking oil, 1 Teaspoon of vanilla essence, 1/2 cup of luke warm water, 1/4th cup of condensed milk (If you don't have condensed milk available, then add 3-4 spoons of sugar, 3 spoons of cream with 1/4th cup of milk additionally).
3. Blend all the ingredients well for one and a half minute.
4. Take the mango mixture into a bowl. Place a sieve on top of the bowl, and sieve 1+1/4th cup of Maida, one teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4th teaspoon of baking soda together.
5. Mix maida, baking soda and baking powder well with the mango mixture. Also mix it in a single direction constantly to avoid lumps and do not over beat it.

In the mean time, prepare a baking tin by greasing it well on all sides and put a butter paper in it. If you don't have a butter paper, you can dust a little maida in the tin, by sprinkling it on top of oil greasing.
6. Preheat the oven(180 degrees for 10 minutes)/cooker/baking vessel for 10 minutes on medium-to-sim flame.
7. Pour the batter(consistency shouldn't be runny or tight) in the baking tin dab it slightly to remove the air bubbles and bake it by covering the lid of the vessel. Bake it on the Medium flame for 15 minutes and then on a slow flame for 20 minutes. If you're baking it in oven then 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees would be sufficient.

FOR MAKING FROSTING:
Take 1/2 cup of cream and whisk it well using a hand blender or a whisker or a spoon. Keep it in the fridge.

FOR MAKING MANGO GLAZING:

1. Take a pan, add 1/2 cup of blanded pulp of mango and souté it for 2 minutes. Add 1/4th cup of sugar and 1/4th cup of water to it.
2. Keep stirring it continuously on a low flame till you see mango glaze becoming a little translucent(colour looks like mango jelly).
3. Bring it to room temperature and keep it in a fridge.

FOR DECORATING CAKE :
1. You cake check after 35 minutes(without oven) if your cake is baked by inserting a toothpick in the centre. If it comes out clean, your cake is baked well.
2. Cool the tin down to room temperature and take the cake out of it on a mesh stand or grill rods(to let the vapours escape well). If you don't have them them let the cake cool a little more and then take it out on a plate.
3. Cut the cake in two layers and then cut it in rectangular pieces by two horizontal and two vertical cuts on top. If you want you can't just cut it into two layers and leave it like that.

4. If cake is well baked, it would look like the cheese slices:)
5. In a bowl take three small spoons of sugar and add four small spoons of water. Mix them well. Coat the cake pieces with that sugar-water syrup on top side.
6. Take the whisked cream and apply it on both the layers of the cake( or if you have cut it like pieces then apply cream on all top facing sides).
7. Put another piece of cake on it or put the second layer of cake on the first layer.
8. Keep it in fridge for twenty minutes.
9.Now, take it out and apply mango glazing on top of the cream of uppermost layer.
10.Pipe tiny drops or using your finger put a little cream like piping cream shape. Our final outcome is going to look this delicious!

Your double layered mouth-wateringly yummy Mango cake is ready! I know it's bit of a process but if you make it with your loved ones and for your loved ones, you will love it and they will relish its taste a lot too!
Happy baking!
