Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 cup Sugar powdered
- 1 cup Coconut use fresh, shredded, unsweetened coconut
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Paan Mixture Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Paan Masala store-bought or homemade
- 3 Betel Leaves finely chopped
- 1 tsp Catechu katha
- 1/2 tsp Slaked Lime chuna, use sparingly
- 1/2 tsp Chutney sweet
- 1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds finely ground
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Tutti Frutti candied fruit mix
- 2 tbsp Coconut for topping, grated
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and half of the shredded coconut in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a spoon.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, powdered sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Incorporate Paan and Tutti Frutti
- Fold in the prepared paan mixture (combine all paan ingredients) and tutti frutti. Mix until evenly distributed.
Prepare for Baking
- Grease and flour a small baking pan (approximately 6-inch round or square). Alternatively, use a heatproof bowl that fits inside a pressure cooker.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut over the top. Place the pan inside a pressure cooker (with the weight removed) and cook on low heat for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Turn off the heat and let the cake cool completely in the cooker before removing it. Once cooled, carefully remove the cake from the pan and serve.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Paan Cake
- For a more intense paan flavor, let the paan mixture sit for 30 minutes before adding it to the batter.
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference. You can use less sugar if you prefer a less sweet cake.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can bake this cake in a conventional oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check frequently to avoid overbaking.
