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.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and add in the remaining ingredients. Beat well until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Pour the cake mixture into a baking dish and bake the cake for 30 mins at 180C. Insert a knife in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, it means the cake is done.
  • Then heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a frying pan and fry the cake until lightly crisp on both the sides.
  • Alternatively, bake the cake using the double boiler steamer method. Prepare the steamer and steam the cake for 20 mins. Once steamed, allow the cake to cool.

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.....
