Dear K,
Thank you so much for remembering us in your prayers and meeting with AMMA.
God Bless You.
Dear Aarthii, Dev and NM. Thanks for your nice posts.
Friends usually the end of March and beginning of April are
very busy days for me. Have to bake many cakes and cook for prayers.
31st March was my co-sister's wedding anniversary.
Had to bake a fruit cake as she likes it.
1st April prayer day, had to cook and for tea made chocolate cake curry puffs and jelly.
3rd April is Aishu's birthday she wants a cake with barbie doll image.
4th April is Kugan's birthday, and my worker's birthday.
So still baking and icing is not over yet.:roll:
I will post the fruit cake and chocolate cake first.
Take care, Kugan98
EGGLESS FRUIT CAKE

2 cups self rising flour

¼ tsp nutmeg powder

1 cup mixed dried fruits
½ cup light brown sugar
14 tbs hot water
½ tsp bicarbonate soda
1 tsp brandy essence or vanilla essence
¼ cup almond chips or flakes
Method:
Preheat an oven for 10 minutes at 180 degreesC
Grease a cake pan and line with parchment paper.
In a pan add in the mixed fruits, mixed spice, nutmeg, sugar,
butter and the hot water.
Place the pan on medium heat and stir the mixture.
Stir until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Bring to a slow boil and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove and let it cool well.
Sieve the the flour and the bicarbonate soda twice.
In a bowl, pour in the fruit mixture, and the essence.
Also add in the almond chips or flakes.
Add in the flour little by little and mix all the ingredients well.
Pour the mixture into the greased tin.
Smooth the top of the mixture.
Bake in the middle shelf of the oven for about 1 ¼ hour,
or till the cake is cooked.
Cool well before slicing

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups of plain flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sodium bicarbonate
400 grms condensed milk
150 grm melted butter
2 tsp vanilla essence
150 ml water
The Chocolate Icing:
225 grms cooking chocolate
100 grms unsalted butter
Method:
Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 150 degrees C
Grease and line a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper.
Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda,
about 3 times. Put them in a bowl.
In the same bowl, add in the condensed milk, melted cooled butter,
vanilla essence and the water.
Use a electric hand mix and whisk for about 1 minute.
The mixture should be uniform and smooth.
Be careful not to OVER BEAT.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 1 hour.
Or till the cake is cooked. Remove and cool for 10 minutes,
before over turning into a rack to cool.
The Chocolate Icing:
Break the chocolate into chunks, melt it slowly in a bowl over a
pan of hot water. (Double boiler)
mix in the butter and stir until the icing has the consistency
of thick pouring cream. Place the cake on a cake plate.
Pour the icing over the cake, smooth the top and the sides,
with a palette knife. Use a zigzag knife to make pattern.
Allow to set.
NOTE: I made two measurements of the cake.
Sliced the cake into 2 and iced it before,
Icing the whole cake
Sorry, before I could snap the picture of the whole cake
It was cut up into slices by avasara kaigal:-D
