Chocolate Caramel Cake


I had a container full of caramel left in the fridge from my previous caramel cake. I didn't know what to do with and didn't want to repeat the same caramel cake over again...That's when I saw the recipe for chocolate caramel cake on Nigella Lawson's site. And, voila here goes my version of the Chocolate Caramel Cake!!I have tweaked the original recipe here and there....


Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Nigella Lawson

Instant Coffee - 2 tsp
Cocoa - 2 tbsp
Boiling water - 2 tbsp
Butter, softened - 175 gms
Caster sugar - 175 gms
Eggs - 2, medium
Caramel syrup - 200 gms
Self-raising flour - 200 gms
Milk - 4 tbsp



Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Butter a cake tin. Mix the coffee and cocoa in a cup, add the hot water and mix to a paste.
  • Put the butter, sugar, eggs, syrup, flour, milk and cocoa paste into a bowl and beat until smooth. 
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top springs back when you press it lightly.
  • Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, and leave to cool. 

The cake tasted bitter-sweet and quite sticky too. Nevertheless, I was surprised as it was liked by everybody at home, even with it's bitter-sweet taste.

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.....
