Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 1 loaf of cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Measure = 240 ml
  • 1 cup of fine variety of Semolina/Rava/Sooji
  • 1 cup Mango pulp freshly squeezed
  • ¼ cup oil/olive oil
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees C.
  2. Mix sugar, salt and baking powder with sooji/semolina.
  3. Here in this cake recipe, no baking soda is required as when a recipe calls for baking soda, it usually calls for some type of acid like buttermilk, yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar.
  4. Since we haven't used any of this, we don't need to add baking soda.
  5. Next, add oil into this and mix well. Add the mango pulp and mix again. Keep it aside for 15 minutes. Semolina will soak up all the juices from mango pulp.
  6. Once the batter is fluffed up, pour the batter in a greased pan and garnish with pistachios or any nuts of your choice. Pistachios lend a bright and beautiful colour to thia cake.
  7. Place the baking tin in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye after 25 minutes, if it starts to brown quickly, lower the temperature a bit.
  8. Do the toothpick test by inserting it in the center of the cake to see if properly baked. If it comes out clean then remove immediately on the wire rack to cool down.
  9. Allow the cake to cool down for a while and then cut it into slices and serve.
Notes
1.Use the best quality mango pulp preferably Alphanso. The final color of your cake also depends on quality of the pulp.
2. Ready made or canned pulp can be used.
3.Ensure that the mango pulp is thick.
4. If the batter is too runny, add a bit more semolina and let it soak well for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
