I have been making the layered cake for so many years but its the first time I am using mango in it. Prepared this cake for a small get together and voila it was a hit. thanks to Home Bakers Challenge for the inspiration.
Beat the egg n sugar together till the eggs are fluffy, mix in the mango puree, flour, baking powder, vanilla essence, salt, milk.
Heat the tawa, put 1/2tbsp ghee and spread it on all sides. Pour a laddle ful of batter and spread a little to form a pancake. Cook on low heat. when the edges turn golden colour, turn them over.
Spread a l/2 laddle ful of batter on the top. Dot the edges with a little ghee. When the edges turn golden brown n the batter is cooked Turn them over, spread again 1/2 laddle ful of batter, repeat the process till the batter is over. Dot them well with ghee. Trim the edges Cut them into three parts and cook them on all sides
The natural yellow colour from the mango was very beautiful All these years I have prepared this cake with chocolate and nuts too but didny have the courage to use a fruit in it, blogger world has given me the courage to try different flavours, hopefully will try it out with different fruits in the future.
