Ingredients




5 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar
of Salt
1/2 cup yogurt (I used homemade yogurt with low fat milk)
1 Finely grated zest of lime (I didn't add' coz my toddler doesn't have a thing fo
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I used vanilla essence)
1/2 cup evo (I used Saffola Oil- a mixture of rice bran and safflowe

Preparation

1 I added yogurt to the sugar and whisked. I added eggs and vanilla essence to this and whisked further. I then added the dry ingredients to this and whisked it together. 2 In the end I added the oil and mixed it with a spatula as instructed. I couldn't find a loaf pan so in, it went into a round baking dish. 3 Minutes at 350F for a loaf pan but mine was done in 45 mins in a round pan at 170 degree Celsius. 4 Though this cake calls for a jam or glaze I made a simple frosting to enhance the slight tart flavour that I thought the yogurt would add to this cake. I also wanted to give the cake a very cloud like ethereal look 'coz from the reviews I had read it was a dense cake with lots of character and flavour so I used the soy based whipping cream thats available in India and to it I added some fresh mango puree and very little sugar and whipped it together to get a fluffy and light frosting. Here is the recipe: 5 Cup whipped cream - lightly beaten till it holds form 6 Cup mangoes pureed 7 Tablespoon powdered sugar 8 Fold the puree and sugar into the whipped cream 9 Frost the cake and decorate with mangoes and enjoy!
