Instructions:
For the Mango Donut Cake:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your donut pan with a light coat of oil or line it with butter paper for easy removal.
-
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together Vivatta Maida (flour), baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine mango pulp and sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely into the mango puree.
-
Add Oil and Vanilla: Add the oil and vanilla extract to the mango-sugar mixture, and mix thoroughly to combine.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet mango mixture, stirring gently. Keep folding until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
-
Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the donut pan, filling each slot to about ¾ full. Ensure that the batter is spread evenly for uniform baking.
-
Bake the Cake: Place the filled pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool the Cake: Once done, remove the pan from the oven. Let the Mango Donut Cake cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack.
For the Chocolate Glaze:
-
Melt the Chocolate: While the donuts are baking, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan, combine dark chocolate (chopped) and fresh cream over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
-
Add Cocoa and Sugar: Once the chocolate is melted, add cocoa powder and powdered sugar to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the glaze is smooth and velvety. Remove from heat.
-
Glaze the Donut Cakes: Once the Mango Donut Cakes have cooled to room temperature, hold each donut upside down and dip the top into the warm chocolate glaze. Allow any excess glaze to drip off before placing the donut back on the cooling rack, glaze side up. Repeat the process for the remaining donuts.
-
Let the Glaze Set: Allow the glaze to harden on each donut as it cools. This should take about 10 minutes, depending on the temperature of the room.
Serving Suggestions:
Once the glaze has set, your Mango Donut Cake with Chocolate Glaze is ready to be served. For a complete tea-time treat, serve it alongside Grilled Stuffed Mushrooms with Onion Parmesan & Herbs, Heart-Shaped Tea Sandwiches, and a hot cup of Adrak Chai (Indian ginger tea). This combination of flavors makes for a delightful and refreshing dessert spread that is sure to impress your guests.
Enjoy this easy-to-make, delightful dessert that combines the tropical flavor of mango with the richness of chocolate – a perfect way to end any meal!
