Eggless Dates Cake to celebarte the Awards

This is one of the hit cake from Shilpa's - Aayis recipes, whenever i make this cake it never went wrong and came out perfect, thick and spongy. We both love this cake anytime, and most of my friends too. Shilpa thank you for such a wonderful cake for vegetarians. This cake actually gave me the confidence to bake some more cakes, that even eggless cakes comes out good. I have made some variation in the ingredients and quantity. I have used butter and baking powder, except all of ingredients are same as specified by Shilpa.


Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour(maida)
18 dates(Khajoor)(Used seedless)
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tblsp spn cashews chopped


Method

1. Soak the dates in warm milk overnight after removing the seeds. If using seedless no need to soak them directly grind them in the blender using milk.
2. Add sugar and grind them to a smooth paste along with the milk in which it is soaked in. Take them in a large bowl.
3. Meanwhile,Sieve together all the dry ingredients flour+baking soda+baking powder.
3. Now add oil+butter to the blended dates puree.
4. Spoon by spoon add the flour mixer to the and mix slowly. Atlast add the chopped nuts and mix.
5. Pour it in a dusted baking tray and bake in the preheated oven 350F for about 30-40 minutes. So that the inserted knife/toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.

Mango Ice cream with an Award

Ice-cream is always associated with me, untill my marriage there was not a day without an icecream or ice candy. As I'm from coastal area, Mangalore always hot weather good for digestion, what ever you eat digested in half an hour. Still remember does childhood days in summer vacation and after lunch my mother used to make me an my brother take a nap, i used to act as i was sleeping and waiting for my mother to fall a sleep. So that i wake up and go to my granny for money to take Ice-candy from icecandy wala :) !! It was like a match fixing that after my mother sleeps i wake up slowly and my grany ready with a money and opens the door lock, run and stop icecandy man 'Icecandy icecandy nilli nilli' (means 'Icecandy icecandy stop stop' in kannada). He used to simle and ask 'yenu beku, candy na lolly na pepsi na'( means ' What you want , candy or lolly or pesi'). Used to take candy, sit in our sitout finish my candy and then enter the house. Later go and sleep with my mommy :)!! Grany was so sweet she never told this to my mother, but she knew that. Later as my little brother grew up, both used to do the same thing, it was so much fun.. memories treasured forever!!

Here come the easy simple and quick Mango Ice cream from Show me the curry, skipped the adding of fresh mango pieces. It was wonderful, both enjoyed eating it. My friend Sailaja has also tried this ice cream, was inspired to make when i tasted at her place, Thank you yaar !!
