Rava Mango cake/halwa (Serves 3-4)

Mango rava cake

Here is an absolutely delicious dessert/snack using rava and mango pulp. I was blog hopping for a mango cake recipe and found this one and the simplicity forced me to try this out Tada…It was out of this world and I must say, it is one of the easiest cakes that you can make with less hassle. It has a texture like cake but can be categorized as halwa too..Enjoy!!!

Rava/Semolina 1 cup (I used unroasted)
Mango pulp 1 cup
Butter ½ cup, melted
Sugar ½ cup
Baking powder 1 tsp

Preparation

Pre heat oven at 375 F.

In a bowl, mix together rava with sugar and baking powder. Add the melted butter and mix well. Next add the mango pulp, mix well and set aside for 10 minutes. Grease 4 ramekins or a 6 inch baking pan with butter. Add the batter to ¾ full and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Keep an eye on the halwa from about 25 minutes or so as we want it to be cooked perfect and over baking can cause toughness. Mine was done in 30 minutes exact. Take the halwa out and cool for 5 minutes. Flip on to serving plates or you can serve in the ramekins itself.

    Made the rava cake less than half an hour ago, and it is completely gone. Thanks Suji for the wonderful recipe (this turned out great unlike the failed Appam episode!). Making it again tomorrow for a friend's birthday, easy and tasty. Luv much, A

      HI Priyanka
      I am also not sure what might have made it bitter, because i have made these umpteen number of times and never had any issues. I Have always used store bought alphonse mango pulp. Did you use fresh mangoes? I have a feeling, sometimes if fresh mango pulp is used, it can cause a slight bitterness depending upon the sweetness of mango. Hope this helps.

      Thank you for trying and the feedback.

      Regards
      Sujitha
