Its my first bake ever and very first cake recipe which turned out good , beyond my expectations. I expected a disaster,it was,in terms of presentation :P. But I was still at Cloud's 9 because my kid brothers loved it and that was enough for me :)
Ingredients :
For Cake
4 eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup refined oil
1/2 milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
For icing :
2 cups of chopped ripe mangoes
3 tbs of powdered sugar
1 cup curd ( hang it for 30 mins.)
1 cup finely grated cottage cheese (optional)
and 1 cup of orange juice to soak the cake
Sift flour with baking powder and keep it aside. And now comes the hard part if you are not using the mixer :P . Beat eggs and sugar together till eggs turn fluffy. Add essence.Now add oil to the beaten mixture and mix well.
Gradually fold in flour scoop by scoop till all of it is used.Add milk to get a slightly thinner consistency.
Grease a microwave safe bowl ( use paint brush ) and dust with some flour and batter.Pour the mixture in it.
Microwave it uncovered for 5 minutes at Micro HI (100%).Do not microwave for longer time even if surface of cake doesn't feel firm.
Grill it it for 4-6 mins. if you want to give it brown look.Leave it in microwave for 4-5 mins.
Take out the dish and let it cool before removing it from the dish.
Cut the cake in 2 halves or soak it as it is with orange juice and keep it in fridge.Keep 1 cup of mangoes aside and puree the remaining in mixer.
Remove half of puree in a bowl and add curd to it and mix well.To the left over puree add cottage cheese and churn it till the mixture is smooth.Remove the mixture in bowl and mix it well with curd and mango mixture.Add sugar to it as needed.
Spread this mixture on one half of cake and few pieces of mangoes.Spread some mixture on other half of cake and press it on the previous one.
Cover the cake with left over mixture and mangoes. Keep it in fridge before serving it :)
You can replace mango with strawberry and skip the soaking part.. :)
