APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

 APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
      (  Its eggless,  oil less and  butter less )
' An apple a day keeps the doctor away'
This is an old saying we have all grew up hearing . But I wonder if the doctor can keep away from the aroma of the freshly baked  apple and cinnamon cake 😜 .
              The apple 🍎 and cinnamon combo by far is the best. Cinnamon gives a unique flavor to the apple cake .I had read that apple and banana puree act as egg replacers in making eggless cakes .By my experiments ,I have seen that  apple and also banana puree act not only as egg replacers but also as oil and butter replacers . Inspite of not having any oil , butter or cream  in my recipe, my cake turned out soft , spongy and delicious .             Now I avoid using fats to bake  to my level best . I have even used apple puree to make oil less and butter less pineapple cakes, pineapple and apple upside down cakes and even chocolate Cakes
INGREDIENTS
Apple 2 ( 1 chopped to small pieces to be mixed in the batter & 1 to be puree along with sugar)
( Can also use peaches)
Sugar 3/4 cup
Whole wheat flour ( Atta)   _3/4 cup

Baking soda 1/2 tsp

BAKING THE EGGLESS APPLE CAKE

 Preheat the oven for 5 minutes at 180° c
Grease and line a cake mould with brown paper
Pour the batter in the cake dish
Bake for 35-40min or till done in pre heated oven at 180 degree Celsius
Cool a bit n  demould
I have left it plain without any frosting or topping
APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
Follow the same recipe as Eggless apple cake  to make the cake batter
Arrange  thin slices of apples as in the picture , at the bottom of the  greased cake dish
Make some caramel and pour over the apples . You could also just sprinkle about 2 _ 3 tbsp of granulated sugar over the apples . ( I have done both . Obviously the latter one is the easy way out to get a delicious caramelized flavor) 😜
Pour the batter over the apples
Bake in a preheated oven at 180° c for 35 _ 40 minutes or till done
Cool the cake and demould but don't flip it back. In an upside down cake  the bottom of the cake is the top . Thus the name 'Upside Down' .
      I have baked upside down cake with pineapple and also banana
 Poured caramelized sugar👆 on the apples
This is actually Oreo Biscuit Apple upside down cake . The cake is  made with Oreo biscuits ( Follow Biscuit cake recipe already in the blog . Replace glucose biscuits with Oreo biscuits ) Made this cake in the microwave in 3 _4 minutes flat .
   Layered a  greased microwave friendly cake dish with a layer of apple slices. S
sugar or pour caramelized sugar .
Poured the biscuit cake batter and microwave
Ta da ! 😅 The  apple upside down cake was ready to be devoured 😜
 Sprinkled granulated 👆 sugar on the apples👇

Tiramisu

TIRAMISU This is a sofisticated coffee flavoured layered Italian dessert . Tiramisu means ' cheer me up ' . Indeed it lives up to its name . It's comfort in every bite . A bite into it  , will pepp you up .        The kick of the coffee from the biscuits dipped in it  and the luscious  creamy texture of the cheese are incorporated beautifully together in harmony.           Tiramisu can be served in individual bowls, glasses or set in a shallow dish . Traditional Tiramisu is made savoiardi  sponge biscuits , eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese  flavoured with cocoa and  alcohol .             It's important that the biscuits don't become too soggy or they will crumble and fall apart . You need to be able to taste  the coffee , but not make the dessert bitter at the same time.            As I feel that there is no end to experimentations and playing a...

Marble Cake(Star Cake) / Zebra(Ring Cake)

Image
I always enjoy baking a marble/ zebra cake as I can experiment with the flavors. Of course also for the mystery of the  marble effect which unfolds only when the cake comes out of the oven and is sliced. The design on the star cake was a totally unexpected one, which I could not recreate again, though there has been no compromise on the taste and texture.          I have treated my colleagues to the zebra cake and it had been highly appreciated. The recipes for both the cakes are same, but for the methods, as mentioned in the recipes. I hope you enjoy baking this recipe and share your experience. DRY INGREDIENTS Refined flour - 2.5 cup Baking powder - 2 tsp Baking soda - 1.5 tsp Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp Custard powder - 1 tbsp Cornflour - 1 tbsp Dry fruits like Tutti Frutti, Raisins, Cashews, Coconut flakes, Almonds, Pistachios WET INGREDIENTS (Cream together these wet ingredients in a separate bowl) Sugar - 2 cups Oil -1 cup Vanilla e...
