Last weekend we shifted to a new residence & now all city delights are more easily accessible to us. :) On Sunday we left home for a walk and ended up inside Joshi’s Museum of Miniature Railways. The Museum is hardly 500 meters from my place. I had read about it on the net but the experience can not be described by words. It was a reality with real-looking trains & people, a city, circus but it was still a show for 25 mins. Since we had not planned this, I didn’t carry my camera. Just for the smallest brief, Mr. Joshi started on this train journey with a hobby of collecting train models & from there on, it grew big. For the museum, they have taken into account even the smallest of details like material used for stairs, clock, etc. All 3 of us loved the experience. My only regret is not availing the headphones for English translation as I read the placard only towards the end. The entire script was in Marathi & went over my head. But I surely plan to revisit the museum and enjoy it once more. Over to baking!

Being the season of Mangoes, any food blog or for that matter kitchen is incomplete without mangoes. So I lapped up the opportunity to bake a mango cake for the first time. It was a real learning experience.

Since this was a new ingredient of baking so far for me, I started with zeroing in on a cake using fresh mangoes and then I hit the search engine. I came across many recipes, out of which I found Lata’s recipe very simple & easy to make. I wanted to go a step further & so again Googled for some sauce recipes to go along with it. I again liked a very simple recipe on ehow.

Mango Cake – I halved the recipe as I wanted to make only a small cake. Since I was making this for my mom, I wasn’t sure how keen she would be for wheat flour, so I replaced it with APF. Also, I used combining dry ingredients, wet ingredients & liquid medium methods to achieve my batter.

I felt the sauce was too sweet & less tangy. Next time I’ll decrease the sugar to 1/2 cup (or less) and increase the juice to 1/2 cup.

The cake was really wonderful & every bite was mangoey. Sweet Sweet Mango!!! Do try this recipe to enjoy the mangoes of the season.
