Chocolate Coconut Cake / Eggless Chocolate Coconut Cake / Chocolate Cake with Lindt Dark!

Early this month weather was too cold only 40 F or less but from this week weather is good and its Fall now here. The leaves turning golden yellow to orange red and in some plants i could able to see nice pink tinges. Its less colorful compared to Wisconsin but still looks pretty and pleasing. After a long time i turned on my oven this week and baked cakes and cookies for my family. Fall and winter are the right time to bake more, so that our house gets warm and also we could enjoy the yummy goodies at home.

For this month's Shh Secretly Cooking Challenge i was paired with Veena of Great secret of Life and she gave me Chocolate and Coconut as my secret ingredients. Both are my favorite ingredients and i couldn't prevent myself from baking. After a long thought i decided to bake a cake with the given ingredients. I already have baked a Vegan Muffins with this chocolate and coconut combo, Chocolate Coconut Muffins. This time baked a rich buttery and chocolatey cake. I slightly tweaked this recipe, also i used lindt 90% cocoa Dark Chocolate and the cake was so flavorful and mild sweet. The chocolate dominated more and there was no coconut flavor but I could taste the coconut in every bite. This chocolate coconut cake is perfect tea time or snack cake, the mild sweet and
rich chocolaty cake pairs well with a cup of coffee or milk.

Honey Drizzled Semolina Cake / Semolina Cake

This month's Home Baker's Challenge, Shama of Easy 2Cook Recipes challenged us with 6 different savory muffins, sweet muffins & cakes. Of the six i tried this Honey Drizzled Semolina cake and the cake turned out super good and delicious. A very easy and simple cake with great taste. Thank you shama for this yummy choice of recipe and i really liked it. Sure this gonna be a keeper recipe. Here i used our regular semolina/sooji/white rava, I simply pulsed it in a blender and used it in the recipe. But the semolina flour will give you a perfect cake like texture, mine was bit crumbly and crust was bit crisp we loved it too.
I also added 1/4 tsp cardamom powder to the sugar syrup since i forgot to add Vanilla to the cake batter, so the cake was dominated by cardamom flavor and it was like a buttery Indian milk sweet. Do give it a try, definitely you will love it.

Today's recipe is very quick and delicious Mango cake in less than 2 minutes. Yup, you can enjoy this super soft n yummy cake instantly with very less and basic ingredients along with some Mango pulp. Long back i bookmarked Eggless Mango Cake recipe in my dear friend Sobha's space. There are so many favorite recipes in Sobha's Good Food. And i am yet to try those delicacies. In that do list, i am so happy that i tried this Eggless Mango cake, but i converted it to a Mug Cake and also added few chocolate chips :) The result was awesome, but i tried 3 mugs to get the perfect recipe. First time, i felt that sugar was too less and next time i tried adding little more sugar n also added Vanilla Extract for flavor. That was perfect but i Microwaved in 12 oz mug so it was only half or little more of the cup. So i couldn't click it properly. Then at last i increased the recipe little n added few chocolate chips n Sprite(lemon flavor) and it came so fluffy, raised well and tasted delicious. OK No more stories, will move on to the recipe now...
