Marble & Fruit Cake Verrine



This is a special post.....Cakes & Tales turns one this month! So, "Happy Birthday to Cakes & Tales".......And, this is my half-century post!! I can't believe I posted 50 posts....phew!! A lazy person like me needs a hell lot of motivation for baking, shooting and posting….So thanks to all who supported and encouraged me - my family (esp my kiddos), friends, followers (though, there aren't many) and to all my anonymous visitors….Looking forward for your support (in the form of comments, suggestions) in the future.....

In this 50th post, I would like to thank one special person - Shn of Kitchen Mishmash as she was my inspiration to blogging…..Her blog is one which I started following initially and admire it a lot….I have tried many of her recipes and all were a big hit! Especially her Kuttanadan Duck Roast!!!Man…that recipe is simply the best!!! I had made that for a small family get-together and everybody loved it….So in my family, it’s known as “C-mol’s Duck Roast”…But, definitely all credits to Shn…..Thank You Shn for inspiring me with your blog…..


 The school is closing next week and we (me & kids) are taking a short-break…but I am already in a holiday-mood now!! So, to celebrate this milestone, I created a simple dessert of my own…Na, na...I would rather say ‘made up’ a dessert of my own….So here’s a toast to Cakes & Tales and to it’s readers!!!

Ingredients:
Recipe Source: My Own

Mascarpone Cheese - 200 gm
Amul Cream - 200 ml
Rum/Brandy - 1-2 tbsp
Icing Sugar - 2-3 tbsp
Fruit Cake & Marble Cake - 2 slices each

Method:
  • Slice the cakes (depending on the shape of the dish used) and place it on the bottom of the dish. 
  • Put the mascarpone cheese and cream in a bowl and using an electric beater, beat together until smooth. Sift the icing sugar into the mixture and beat again until well mixed.
  • Pour the rum/brandy and mix well with a spatula.
  • Pour the frosting on the top of the cake and chill.
  • Before serving, decorate with grated chocolate. 

Notes: 1. Since I used a square dish for the dessert, the cakes were sliced vertically.
2. You could use vanilla essence or instant coffee instead of rum/brandy.
3. Since I had fruit cake and marble cake (bakery-brought), I used both for making the dessert. You can used simple chocolate cake or brownies.

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 ...

Happy Birthday Princess!!

Yes, the time flew again and she celebrated her 4th birthday with a White Chocolate Cake..... Unlike, the previous years , this year I asked her what cake she wanted for her birthday. And she surprised me saying she needed a white cake, the one which we buy from bakery....Well, I knew what she wanted was a White Forrest cake..... Since, we never preferred a White Forrest Cake, I decided to stick with her choice of a white cake.... And like any other time, Rachel Allen's Cake gave me the exact cake I was looking for.....And so here it is White Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate Ganache.....
