Coffee Cake with Coffee Buttercream Icing

Ever since I saw this cake recipe on Divya's Easycooking blog, I badly wanted to try it out. Finally, last weekend I baked it!!! It was too delicious; the coffee taste of the cake, the buttercream icing, everything was just mind-blowing!!The taste still lingers on my tongue...*smiles*


Once a cake is baked, I'm never patient enough to wait for it to cool down. That is the reason you could see my icing flowing down...*smiles*...But no worries; just put it in the fridge for some time and it would set....

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer and make a pulp out of it.
