 Recipe Name: Breadfruit Cake (রিডফ্রুট কেক)

Ingredients:

  • 350 grams of flour

  • 150 grams of butter or margarine

  • 250 grams of sugar

  • 4 eggs

  • 5 ml of vanilla essence

  • 75 grams of caramel (made from sugar)

  • 75 grams of cashews

  • 75 grams of cherries

  • 20 grams of candied orange peel (white inner part removed)

  • 2 grams of ground cinnamon and cardamom

  • 4-5 drops of vinegar

  • 10 grams of baking powder

  • A pinch of salt

  • 20 grams of powdered milk

Preparation:

  1. Dry Ingredients:

    Mix the flour, baking powder, and powdered milk together. Sift the mixture three times to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

  2. Caramel Preparation:

    Melt sugar over a low flame until it turns into a dark caramel. Once done, add a cup of hot water to it and let it soak.

  3. Fruit Preparation:

    Peel and remove the white part from the candied orange peel. Chop the cherries, cashews, candied peel, and mix them with raisins. Add the ground cinnamon and cardamom to this mixture.

  4. Egg Mixture:

    Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt for 2 minutes using an egg beater. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture becomes thick.

  5. Butter Mixture:

    In another bowl, beat the butter or margarine until it becomes creamy. Then, pour the egg-sugar mixture into the butter and continue to beat for 2 more minutes.

  6. Final Mixture:

    Mix the vanilla essence and vinegar into the butter-egg mixture. Gradually fold in the flour mixture until it forms a thick batter. Add the caramel and mix well.

Method:

  1. Baking Preparation:

    Pour the prepared batter into a greased and lined baking tin.

  2. Baking:

    Bake the cake for about 30 minutes at a moderate temperature. To check if it's done, insert a skewer or a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If the batter sticks to the skewer, bake for a little longer.

  3. Cooling and Serving:

    Once baked, let the cake cool before slicing it into pieces for serving.

Serving Suggestions:

The cake can be served as a dessert or as a snack with tea or coffee. It can also be garnished with additional fruits or nuts for an extra touch.
