This Mango Marble cake has the goodness of both mango and chocolate. I made muffins with this combination several years ago but didn’t bake with mango in the last few years even though I have an abundance of fresh mangoes every season.

I was walking with a couple of friends and one of the friends mentioned that she wanted to taste the Mango Chocolate combo.

Mangoes are in season and my house is like a mango heaven right now with lots of mangoes I got from my farm. Eating fresh fruit isn’t just enough for kids so made this mango cake.

It’s a simple recipe yet tastes delicious. My little one finished half of the cake for breakfast. Happy kiddo, happy me.

I used pulp from Suvarnarekha variety but Alphonso will give the same result. I used cake flour as it’s light compared to the maida. You can easily make cake flour at home, take 1 1/2 cups Maida/All purpose flour, remove 3 tablespoons, add 3 tablespoons of corn starch and mix.

Preparation Time : 15 minutes

Bake Time : 30 minutes

Makes : 8″ cake

Salt : 1/4 teaspoon

For Glaze :

Mango Pulp : 1/2 cup

Sugar : 3 tablespoons

Water : 3 tablespoons

Instructions:

Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a medium sized bowl, add milk, mango pulp, melted butter, vanilla extract and whisk to combine.

Add the dry ingredients and fold in gently to combine without over mixing.

Grease a 8″ round cake pan, pour the batter and bake for 30 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean from the middle of the cake.

In the meanwhile, add the ingredients listed under for glaze into a small sauce pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on medium flame.

Let the cake cool before pouring the glaze on the cake.

You can store any left over cake in a airtight container for 3-4 days at room temperature.

 

 

Buttermilk Biscuits

These buttermilk biscuits are soft, buttery and flaky. Serve them with some jam, honey or any other topping of your choice. This biscuit dough works well as a topping for pot pies.

I always used to buy the refrigerated dough for biscuits when I lived in US, but I couldn’t find that in India. So, I tried several recipes to make them but not every one suited the kids taste buds. After so many alterations, I was able to get a recipe that they loved. My friends loved these flaky biscuits too.

Couple tips to get perfect tips is you should be working with cold butter and buttermilk. Do not over mix. Only use hands to make the dough. The faster you work, the better the texture of the biscuits will be. As, this helps the butter not to melt (especially during hot weather).

Sending this recipe to our annual baking event bake-a-thon 2019.

Preparation Time: 8 minutes

Bake Time: 15 minutes

Makes : 12 biscuits

Ingredients:

All purpose flour : 2 cups

Baking powder : 1 tablespoon

Baking soda : 1/4 teaspoon

Salt : 1 teaspoon

Sugar : 1 tablespoon

Unsalted Butter : 6 tablespoons cold diced

Buttermilk : 3/4 cup cold

Method :

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Line a cookie tray with parchment paper and keep aside.

In a large bowl, add all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and butter. Gently mix everything to make a crumble where butter is still pea sized.

Add buttermilk and fold everything gently. Take the mixture onto floured surface and pat to 1/2 inch thickness. Fold it twice and pat to 1/2 inch thickness again.

Now cut the dough with a cookie cutter and place them on the lined cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush them with melted butter. Serve hot with any topping of your choice.
