Paneer Tuttifrutti Cake


Good morning!!!
For day 2 of Bake-a-thon , I wanted to bake a cake which was different from the usual ones.When browsing came across this paneer cake from Saffron Trail.Loved the very look of it and since I had paneer in my fridge(I always do:-) )Went for it and the cake was ready in an hour. Wow!!!This looks so good Right?????
INGREDIENTS

Whole Wheat flour/ Aata 1 1/2 cup

Paneer 1/2 cup

Whey water 3/4 cup

Sugar ground with 3 seeds of cardamom 1 cup

Baking powder 1 tsp

Baking soda 1/2 tsp

Oil 2 tbsp

Condensed milk 4 tbsp

Vinegar 1 tbsp

Tutti frutti 1/4 cup

Milk 1/4 cup( only if require)

PREPARATION

Preheat the oven to 180C

Grease a 6" round pan/ loaf tin with butter.

Make paneer as shown here or Boil 1/2 lt milk, add 1 tbsp of vinegar to this boiling milk, mix well and you see that the milk splits. Now strain and keep the whey water aside

Sift the flour with baking powder and baking soda.Keep it aside.
Mash the paneer, oil and condensed milk in a a large bowl.
Now add the vinegar and continue mashing and add the powdered sugar to this and mix well.
Fold in the flour mixture alternatively with the whey water in batches to get the cake batter consistency.If the whey water is not enough then use the milk.

Sprinkle some flour on the tuttifrutti, mix well and fold in this into the batter and mix well. Reserve some for topping

Pour into the prepared tin and bake at 180C for 30 minutes and reduce the temperature to 160C and bake for further 15-20minutes or till done.

To check , insert a wooden skewer and see if it comes out clean

  12. What a brilliant idea to use the whey from making paneer; it's the only true whey that is vegetarian.

    It's a lovely treat, Veena. How much tuttifrutti did you use, and is it like the candied fruits and peels used in traditional English fruitcakes?
