Eggless Mango Cake Recipe Without Condensed Milk | Vegan Mango Cake Recipe

I had bookmarked this Indian style, vegan eggless mango cake without condensed milk from Madhuram’s eggless cooking blog. But I couldn’t try it. So I thought of trying at least in this mango season. Basically eggless mango cake can be prepared with many variations in the ingredients. Today I have come up with a version of mango cake with minimum ingredients. This cake recipe doesn’t call for butter, curd/yogurt, milk or condensed milk. 

Yes, Its completely vegan. Its a very simple recipe that uses cooking oil as the major ingredient. You will love this soft and spongy eggless, butter less mango cake. You can try this cake in a pressure cooker as well. Please refer my eggless cooker cake post for detailed procedure. If you ask me for wheat flour as substitute, sorry I can’t help you.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

To make eggless mango cake, wash and peel the skin of 2 ripe mangoes. Chop to cubes. Grind to a smooth, thick paste without adding water. Alternatively you can use store bought, readymade mango pulp too. Measure 1 cup of puree and set aside. In a wide bowl, take the mango puree. Add sugar, cooking oil, vanilla essence and cardamom powder. Mix well until sugar dissolves completely. Place a sieve over the mango puree bowl and add maida, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift and add to the mango puree. Lastly add the chopped cashew nuts. Mix gently without lumps using a spatula. Batter would be semi thick and spoonable. Check for taste, add more sugar if needed. Mix gently and set aside. Take a baking pan and grease with oil. Sprinkle 2 tsp of maida all over the pan and rotate it to spread well.  Pat and remove the excess flour. Now transfer the cake batter to the baking pan. Fill the batter till half of the pan. I used 2 small sized pans ( bundt pan & loaf pan).  Preheat oven in convection mode at 180c. Bake the cake for 25 minutes at 180c. Remove the pan after 25 minutes and insert a tooth pick into the cake. If the tooth pick comes out clean or with slight crumbles, cake is done. If toothpick comes with cake batter , bake for another 2 to 5 minutes by checking every minute. Cool down the cake in a kitchen counter by covering the cake with a plate. It helps to prevent the cake from drying on the top. After 15 to 20 minutes, take the pan and run a knife around the corners of the pan. Invert the pan to a plate and pat it. Cake falls off easily. Make slices and enjoy with your tea/coffee. Tastes great with a nice  mango flavor. Enjoy !

Note

Do not reduce the quantity of baking powder or baking soda. Adjust the quantity of sugar based on the sweetness of mango pulp. Original recipe used 1/2 cup sugar but I used 2 tbsp extra. Do not beat the cake mixture. Mix gently. For variations, you can use powdered sugar. In that case, measure and grind 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp & add to cake batter. If you like, you can replace a part of sugar with honey.

Ice Cream Bread Recipe – How To Make Cake With Ice Cream

Ice cream bread/ Ice cream cake is an easy 2 ingredient bread baked using all purpose flour / cake flour and melted ice cream. Recently I prepared homemade Vanilla ice cream and Butterscotch icecream using Amul fresh cream and condensed milk. I used the leftover ice cream for this recipe. After referring so many recipes, I found full fat ice cream works the best for this ice cream bread recipe. But I tried with ice cream prepared using low fat Amul fresh cream. Still my bread came out very well and soft. 

Basically this ice cream bread tastes bland with mild sweetness. So I modified the recipe and added some powdered sugar, milk. It came out very well, soft and spongy. Raksha loved it very much. You too give a try in this summer vacation for your kids. They will love it for sure. Vanilla ice cream is preffered but you can try with other flavors as well. I used vanilla ice cream and butterscotch ice cream in equal quantity. So the color of bread varies as per the ice cream you use. Ok, lets see how to make easy, yummy, homemade ice cream bread recipe at home using leftover ice cream.

How To Make Eggless Red Velvet Cake Recipe Without Condensed Milk

My daughter Raksha is a big fan of Red velvet cake. So I tried this eggless red velvet cake recipe at home with whipped cream frosting for the first time on Valentine’s day.  Last year during this day I had shared a simple and easy eggless red velvet cake in a mug using microwave. So this year I wanted to try in convection oven. It came out moist, soft, spongy without even using condensed milk, butter & eggs. Cooking oil and buttermilk are the magic ingredients in this recipe. I was very happy with the result even though its my first attempt. Thanks Ranjani for the fool proof recipe. 

Actually cream cheese frosting is most suitable for red velvet cake. But I used heavy whipping cream for the frosting as I din’t have cream cheese in hand. We loved this combo as well. I used food coloring liquid for the bright red color. I din’t want to test with beetroot juice as its my first attempt. 

Last year we ordered red velvet cake from a popular bakery chain for Raksha’s birthday. But it was not good at all. We were disappointed with the taste of frosting and felt the cake was not even moist. When compared with that cake, my homemade eggless red velvet cake is outstanding. Beginners can dare to try this recipe. You will get good results for sure. You can also use this recipe to make red velvet cupcake. 

Ok, Lets see how to make eggless red velvet cake at home with step by step pictures.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup - 240ml Maida / All purpose flour - 1 cup Baking powder - 1 tsp Baking soda - 1/2 tsp Cocoa powder - 1 tbsp To mix Sugar – 1/2 cup ( I used regular crystal sugar) Buttermilk - 1/2 cup ( thick curd ( 1.5 tbsp + 1/3 cup water) Cooking oil - 1/3 cup ( Any flavorless oill) Vanilla essence - 1 tsp Colorless vinegar - 1 tbsp Red food color - 1 tsp Frosting Heavy whipping cream - 1/2 cup ( I used Tropolite brand) Icing sugar - 1/4 cup Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp Sugar + water – 1 tbsp each for sugar syrup.

HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS RED VELVET CAKE

1. In a small bowl, whisk curd & water to make buttermilk. Keep aside.
2. In another wide bowl, take sugar and cooking oil. Mix till sugar melts. Then add the remaining wet ingredients and make a smooth liquid.  
3. Keep a sieve over this bowl. Sieve maida, baking powder, soda and cocoa powder.
4. Mix gently with a whisk to make cake batter. Transfer to a greased baking pan.
5. Bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Check with toothpick.
6. Remove the pan and let the cake cool completely. Invert in a plate and cover with a cling wrap to avoid drying.
7. Now beat the heavy whipping cream adding icing sugar, vanilla essence till stiff peak using electric beater.
8. Slice the cake into two rounds. Drizzle sugar syrup all over the cake base.  Apply frosting. Decorate with piping nozzles as you like. Refrigerate the cake for an hour before use.
9. Cut the cake and enjoy chilled cake.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

In a small bowl, whisk thick curd + water. Make buttermilk. Set aside. In a wide bowl, whisk sugar and cooking oil. Mix till sugar dissolves. To this  add buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla essence, food color and mix well. Place a sieve over the bowl. Sieve maida, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder. Mix gently and make the cake batter. Batter consistency should be pourable and fall like ribbon. Take a baking pan, grease with cooking oil or butter at the sides & bottom pf pan. Dust the pan with maida & coat it completely. Pour the cake batter till half of the pan. Preheat convection oven at 180c for 10 minutes. Place the baking pan inside the oven and bake the cake for 30 minutes. Prick the cake with a toothpick and check if it comes out clean without batter. If not, bake for another 2 minutes to 5 minutes. Remove the cake pan and allow it to become warm. After 30 minutes, run a knife in the sides of cake and invert it in a plate.Cake falls smooth without sticking to the pan. Let the cake cool down completely if you are frosting it with cream. Else you can make pieces and serve warm as teatime cake immediately. After the cake cools down completely, cover the cake in a cling wrap or polythene cover and rest it for 6 hours to overnight. This will help to slice the cake without or with less crumbs. But If you want to apply icing on the cake, you can also slice it once the cake becomes warm but crumbs will be more. No problem, you can collect the crumbs and use it for decoration. Now remove the cling wrap. Slice into two using a knife or thread.Cut the cake into two roundels using a knife or thread as shown the picture below. Place the base on seperate plate.  Drizzle sugar syrup on both the layers. Do not add too much of sugar syrup. Cake base will become soggy. Stop adding sugar syrup once you feel the cake is completely wet by pressing with your fingers gently. To make frosting, take the heavy whipping cream in a wide bowl. Add icing sugar, vanilla essence. Whip it using an electric beater till soft peaks form. Remove more than half of this cream to another bowl and use it to apply on the cake base. Beat the remaining cream till firm peaks, add food color to a portion of it ( I used pink) and use it for piping. Apply cream on the cake base and layer the cake one over the other. Cover the top and sides with the cream. Now take the piping bag and insert a nozzle. Fill with cream. Decorate the cake as you like. If there are crumbs in the cake, you can sprinkle them all over the cake. Refrigerate the cake for an hour and then cut it. Enjoy !

Note

Do not reduce the quantity of cooking oil. Instead you can replace with soft butter. To substitute buttermilk, you can use 1/2 cup warm milk + 1 tsp lemon juice. Baking time may vary as per the oven settings. So keep an eye after 25 minutes. After you apply frosting on both of the cake base, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to set well. Then you can layer them and give the top coating. After coating the sides and top of the cake, again refrigerate it for 30 minutes. Finally you can do the piping design, refrigerate for 1 hour and cut it. All these steps helps to make the frosting set well.

Make this rich, creamy, soft, spongy, delicious looking eggless red velvet cake at home for birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions, enjoy !

Easy, yummy, kids friendly bread pizza recipe on tawa/stove top, convection oven and microwave methods

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Kids Recipes Indian

Serves: 5

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 10 Minutes

Total time: 20 Minutes

Chitra Ganapathy

Ingredients

1 cup - 250ml Bread slices - 5 nos Grated Cheese - 1/2 cup to 1 cup ( I used Amul Mozzarella cheese) Capsicum - 1 no ( finely chopped) Big onion - 1 no ( finely chopped) Ripe tomato - 1 no ( finely chopped) Black Olives - 5 nos ( sliced) Boiled Sweet corn - 1/4 cup ( optional) Pizza sauce or paste sauce or schezwan chutney - as needed ( I used pizza sauce around 3-4 tbsp) Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp Salt - a pinch Chilli flakes - 1 tsp ( optional) Oregano mix or pizza seasoning mix - 1 tsp Butter - to grease the tawa & bread

Method

To make bread pizza, wash and chop all the vegetables finely. Grate the cheese and keep aside.Take a bread slice and apply butter on both the sides.Keep in a plate. In a wide bowl, mix all the finely chopped vegetables, pepper powder, salt and pizza seasoning mix.Keep it ready. Take the bread slice and apply the pizza sauce on one side.Spread the mixed vegetables. Top with grated cheese. You can either cook them on tawa/pan, microwave or bake in convection oven. Bread pizza in tawa : Heat a dosa tawa and apply some butter. Keep the loaded bread slice.Cover cook in very low flame for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts.Remove in a plate and serve hot. Cover cook is very important. If you don’t cover cook, cheese won’t melt and bottom of bread slice may burn. Bread pizza in microwave : Place the bread slice in microwave and cook in high power( mine is 800w) for 1 minute or until cheese melts.If the power is less, it may take 1.5 to 2 minutes. If power is more, it can be done under 1 minute.So keep an eye. Bread pizza in convection oven : Preheat convection oven in 180c. Keep the bread pizza in a baking tray. Bake it for 5 minutes at 180c. Cheese melts and the sides of bread slice turns slightly crispy. Remove and enjoy !

Note

The quantity of chilli flakes, pizza mix and pepper powder depends on our taste. You can add any number of toppings like paneer, mushroom, jalapeno, sweet corn etc.. Do not cook the pizza on open tawa, it takes long time for the cheese to melt. Microwave bread pizza takes very less time to cook.If you keep for more time, pizza would burn.

Enjoy this easy, yummy bread pizza at home ! Kids would love it for sure !!

Mix  gently and keep the curd bowl aside for 5 minutes. It foams up well. After 5 minutes, add vanilla essence and cooking oil in the curd mixture. Mix gently. Add sieved maida to the curd mixture little by little. If the cake batter is too thick, add 1 to 2 tbsp milk and loosen the batter slightly. Batter should be thick but pourable. Take an aluminium baking pan and grease with oil. Spread 1 tsp maida all over the pan and pat the excess flour. Pour the cake batter and pat it twice to spread the batter evenly. Take the pressure cooker, remove the gasket and whistle in the lid. Spread 1/2 kg powdered salt evenly in the bottom of cooker. Put a slotted plate or any plate over the salt. Heat the cooker in high flame for 5 minutes. Salt gets heated well. Now open the cooker and place the cake pan inside it carefully. Close with the lid and heat the cooker in very low flame for 30 to 40 minutes. Open the cooker after 30 minutes and insert a toothpick or back of spoon. If it comes out clean, cake is done else cook for another 5 minutes. Mine got done in 35 minutes. Remove the cake pan carefully and rest it for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the cake and invert in a plate. Cut the cake into pieces after it becomes warm. Enjoy. Store the leftover pieces in an air tight box. Do not refrigerate or let it open, cake will become dry. It stays good for 2 days.  Enjoy !
