Tiramisu Layer Cake with Mascarpone Frosting




This is the traditional Italian dessert, Tiramisu in a layer cake form. Rather than using ladyfingers, here I am four layers of cake. This four-layer cake is a decadent mix of dark chocolate, espresso, and vanilla layers brought together with a creamy mascarpone frosting and this cake is perfect for anyone who loves coffee.




This is our all-time favorite cake. When my son eats this cake, he says, "I'm feeling like I am having a coffee frappe". Last week, when I posted the picture of this cake on Instagram, one of my friends asked, "Who will eat this big cake in the lockdown". This cake is so delicious that I could eat the whole cake with no regrets.

This recipe is adapted from https://www.eatloveeats.com/tiramisu-layer-cake-ombre-mascarpone-frosting/





Recipe of Tiramisu Layer Cake with Mascarpone Frosting

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Serves: 8 slices

Ingredients:

for the base cake

Unsalted butter - 1 cup

Sugar - 1 cup 

All purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups 

Baking powder - 4 teaspoons 

Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon 

Large Eggs - 4 

Milk - 3 tablespoons 

Vanilla essence - 2 teaspoons

Espresso powder - 1 tablespoon 

Cocoa powder - 1 tablspoons 

For the Coffee Syrup:

Espresso powder - 2 tablespoons 

Sugar - 1/2 cup 

Water - 1/2 cup 

For the mascarpone frosting:

Mascarpone cheese - 750g

Icing sugar - 1 cup 

Milk - 2 tablespoons 

Vanilla essence - 2 teaspoons 

Espresso powder - 1 teaspoon 

To finish: 

Cocoa powder - 1 tablespoon 


Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line 4 (6 inch) cake tins. 

2. Place the butter and sugar in the stand mixer and cream it. Then add eggs one by one and beat it. Add milk and vanilla essence. Mix it until incorporated. 

3. In another bowl, add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix it well. Add this flour mixture to the egg mixture. Beat the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.

4. Now divide the batter into 3 portions. Put half of the mixture in one bowl, and two quaters in another two bowls. If you would like to be accurate you can use the scale. If you don't have scales just eyeball it. Into the large portion add the espresso powder. Add cocoa to one of the smaller portion. Leave one smaller portion as it is. 

5. Split the coffee mixture between two tins and pour the vanila and chocolate portion into two other tins. Level the tops and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before removing and transferring to a cooling rack. 

 

For the coffee syrup:

Add the espresso powder, sugar and water into a saucepan. Bring to the boil by stiring it intil the sugar has dissolved. Remove it from the heat and let it cool. 

Frosting:

1. Using stand mixer beat the mascarpone cheese in medium speed. Add the icing sugar, milk and the vanilla essence. Mix together until the mixture is smooth. Now add the espresso powder into the frosting and mix it well. 

Assemble the cake:

Start by levelling off all the cakes using a cake leveller or a serrated knife.

Using a pastry brush generousy brush the tops of each cake with coffee syrup.

Place one layer onto the surface. Spread the frosting on the top. Place another layer on top followed by frosting. Repeat the process until you are done with all the layers. Roughly spread some frosting over the entire cake and make a crumb coat. 

Smooth out the frosting little bit and leave it rustic or decorate as your own. Dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder for that final tiramisu touch.

Tomato Rice



Hi everyone, I hope you are doing good. Today I am here to share a new recipe. That is Tomato Rice with Muir Glen tomatoes. This post has been sponsored by Muir Glen in partnership with TheFeedfeed. 

Muir Glen is a very reputed brand in the USA for its different products like organic tomatoes, pasta sauce, and salsa. Thanks to Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes, it has become convenient to make any Indian curry. Their canned tomatoes are the best. 
Do you know how the best quality of tomatoes comes from Muir Glen?  Because it focuses on the following three principles - 1. Organic 2. Pollinators 3. Zero waste. In order to grow a better-tasting tomato, they believe it must be grown organically. Their farmers in the Sacramento Valley of California work together with local pollinators (aka bees!) to keep a healthy ecosystem and produce the best tomatoes possible. However, not every tomato is good enough for the cans, which is why they have created a composting facility for any tomato waste. Muir Glen focuses on working in harmony with their environment because it’s what makes their tomatoes taste better and the planet a happier place.

I love to shop at co-op grocers. I have bought the Muir Glen Tomatoes from our local Co-Op called People’s organic food market located in the Ocean Beach area in San Diego.
Co-OPs are community-owned businesses, they are
committed to the people they serve and the communities they live in. Owners
can have a voice in what is available for purchase, as well as in the overall
organization of their particular co-op. Owners get the most buying power for
their money, and profits stay in the community, contributing to its economic
strength. There is a promotion running with Muir Glen at their local NCG coop. 10 for $10 (14oz) from today until 2/4.




Today I will share the recipe of Tomato Rice. This recipe is inspired by a popular South Indian dish, Thakkali Sadam. As the name indicates, Tomato rice is a rice-based dish made with lots of tomtates and spices. Tomato rice can be served without any side dishes as it is very tasty and flavorful on its own. This rice recipe is fabulous to pack for lunch boxes since they are super quick to make. I am really in love with Tomato rice and this is quite a regular dish in my kitchen.

There are two ways to make this rice – one you can make it from raw rice and cook from scratch and second is to make it with pre-cooked rice.  I always like to prepare this dish with cooked rice, a perfect way to use leftover rice and transform the plain white rice into a totally new dish. 

Usually, tomato rice is very spicy and people enjoy it that way. However, my tomato rice is not that spicy. I adjust spice levels to taste.

The dish is gluten-free and vegan too.

Tortilla Soup using Muir Glen Tomatoes



It’s been a while since I had posted my last recipe in this blog and today I am not going wasting any time by giving any excuse for that. Off late, I am enjoying Instagram a little more than other social networking sites. I love posting pictures of my day-to-day cooking on Instagram. Since it’s all about pictures, there is less effort required to write about the recipe. Sometimes I also like to post pictures about what’s happening in my daily life. So if you are not already there, please follow me, my Instagram id is #mixandstir. 


Anyways, I have some good news for you. I have been associated with a unique and fun campaign with Muir Glen & the National Co-Op Grocers. Muir Glen is a very reputed brand in the USA for their different products like organic tomatoes, pasta sauce, and salsa.  Thank you @thefeedfeed, the popular social networking company for giving me this opportunity.  
Do you know how the best quality of tomatoes come from Muir Glen?  Because it focuses on the following three principles - 1. Organic 2. Pollinators 3. Zero waste. In order to grow a better tasting tomato, they believe it must be grown organically. Their farmers in the Sacramento Valley of California work together with local pollinators (aka bees!) to keep a healthy ecosystem and produce the best tomatoes possible. However, not every tomato is good enough for the cans, which is why they have created a composting facility for any tomato waste. Muir Glen focuses on working in harmony with their environment because it’s what makes their tomatoes taste better and the planet a happier place.





As part of this fun campaign, I have also been introduced with co-op grocers. Once you start buying the groceries from Co-Op grocers - you never go back to the regular grocery stores. While reading about these Co-Op grocers, came to know about interesting facts. As locally owned businesses, co-ops are committed to the people they serve and the communities they live in. Owners can have a voice in what is available for purchase, as well as in the overall organization of their particular co-op. Owners get the most buying power for their money, and profits stay in the community, contributing to its economic strength. I have bought all the ingredients from the Co-Op called People’s organic food market located in the Ocean Beach area in San Diego.

Like other cooperatives, Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market, a California food cooperative, operates according to the seven Cooperative Business Principles. It was born as a small neighborhood buying club in 1971. I love the seven cooperative principles those they follow 1. Voluntary, Open Ownership 2. Democratic Owner Control 3. Owner Economic Participation 4. Autonomy and Independence 5. Education, Training, and Information 6. Cooperation Among Cooperatives 7. Concern For The Community. Here are the specific mission and vision statements from this Co-Op that has really impressed me. Mission: To operate retail vegetarian consumer cooperatives providing high-quality natural products at a fair and reasonable price. Vision: The Cooperative is dedicated to helping people live in ways that are ecologically sustainable and that promote personal health and well-being. Values: We believe that consumer ownership through a cooperative structure provides consumers with an optimal democratic forum to meet the needs of our community. Over the years, the Co-op has grown to serve many Owners from many different locations.


There is a promotion going on, you can stock up on Muir Glen products.

○ 28oz Canned Tomatoes – 2/$4 (1/30-2/12)

Find the Co-op market closest to you.







Now let's come to the actual recipe. Today I will share a Mexican-inspired soup, using Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes. The Soup is called Tortilla soup, to cook it from the scratch will take not more than 30 minutes. You can prepare tortilla soup in Instant Pot or slow cooker or on the stove top. The fire roasted tomatoes, spicy chilis, bold seasoning, and corn tortillas make the flavorful soup. I have used, chicken stock and shredded chicken both here if you are vegetarian, just skip the shredded chicken and use vegetable stock instead of Chicken broth. This soup is very much a Mexican version of tomato soup. This particular recipe is a bit spicy, the way my 11 years old wanted. I added a jalapeno and paprika. If you want your soup little milder, just skip the jalapeno. The recipe is very flexible. To make this soup extra delicious, add some toppings at the end. You can add your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, or pepper jack cheese, chopped cilantro, chopped onions, sliced avocado and don't forget to add some crispy fried corn tortilla chips.

Mini Gulab Jamuns (Angoori Gulab Jamuns) with Rabri



Hello! I am back after a long break of 4 months. Finally, I have managed to recover and find some time to sit down and write a new recipe. Last few weeks I was trying to get back to my blog but I still needed some motivation and push. Fortunately, I received this potluck invitation at the right time. Thanks Kankana for organizing this virtual potluck. In last 4 months, many of you requested me the recipes and food pictures that I used to post on my Instagram. But I couldn’t reply you as I was not doing well. I am really sorry for that and from now onwards I will attempt to post as regular as I can, so please bear with me.




Hope you are having a great festive season. Today I will share a recipe of dessert that I made a few days back. I am sure that you would like it. I am not a big fan of dessert but I too liked this combination of Mini Gulab Jamuns with Rabri. It's a deep-fried melt in the mouth, kind of dough balls soaked in cardamom flavored syrup. When it’s served slightly warm, it's a pure bliss to gobble up. To make these Gulab Jamuns extra special, I have drizzled with a layer of rabri over warm Jamuns.





These Gulab Jamuns are pearl sized and also called Angoori Gulab Jamuns. Before making these, I have seen lots of recipes. There were two methods one with Khoya and another with milk powder. I have made these using Khoya. I have made the similar versions of this dessert that are called Pantua and Kala Jamuns. Also tried Gulab jamuns a couple of years back but they turned out to be not so soft. So I was quite nervous thinking that if the recipe doesn't work this time, I have to stop making Gulab Jamuns. But fortunately, they came out so delicious! 





Recipe of Angoori Gulab Jamuns with Rabri for 6 to 8 people

Ingredients:

For Dough 

Grated Khoya: 1 cup,
All-purpose flour: 3 tablespoons 
Baking soda:  1/8 teaspoon 
Cardamom powder: a pinch 
Milk: 3 to 4 tablespoons or as needed 

For Syrup

Water: 2 cups
Sugar: 1 and 1/2 cups
Cardamoms: 4 to 5, crushed 

Saffron strands: few  

Oil for deep frying

Method:

1. Add sugar and water to a wide pan and bring it to boil on medium flame. Add cardamoms and saffron to the syrup. Boil it for 5 minutes. Once it is done, turn off the stove. Keep it there. 

2. Add grated khoya, all-purpose flour, baking soda and cardamom powder to a mixing bowl. Mix it well. Slowly add milk little by little as needed. Knead it gently and make a smooth dough. The dough should not be dry. Keep it aside for 5 minutes. 

3. Divide the dough into 32 equal portions. Take each one in between your palms and roll into a ball.  Make sure there is no crack on the surface of the balls.

4. Heat oil in the deep frying pan. When the oil is medium hot, add a pinch of dough in the hot oil. If the dough comes up slowly with bubbles that means oil is ready to fry. 

5. Add Jamuns 6 to 8 at a time and fry them over low to medium flame. Keep stirring the oil to fry them evenly. Once they are uniformly golden brown, remove the balls from oil and immediately them to slightly hot syrup. The syrup should not be too hot. 

6. Gently rotate the Jamuns in syrup and let it get soaked for about 40 to 45 minutes before serving. 


The Recipe of Rabri

Ingredients:

Whole milk: 1 liter 
Sugar: 4 to 6 tablespoons or to taste 
Cardamom powder: a pinch 

For Decoration:

Chopped Pistachios: 1 to 2 tablespoons 
or dry rose petals ( optional ) 

Method:

Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Once it starts to boil, reduce the flame. Stir continuously to prevent it from burning at the bottom. The milk will start to thicken. Continue to stir till it becomes thick and creamy. Add sugar and cardamom powder and stir it to mix. Once the milk is thick and the quantity becomes little less than half of actual quantity of milk, turn off the stove. Rabri is ready.  

Serve the cold rabri with warm Gulab Jamuns topped with chopped pistachios.

Paneer Butter Masala ( the Easy and Healthy way )



Paneer Butter Masala is a very rich Indian Vegetarian dish made with Paneer ( Indian Cottage Cheese ). Marinated Paneer is cooked in a spicy, smooth and creamy red-colored tomato-based gravy. It’s the vegetarian version of Chicken Tikka Masala and the most frequent dish to order in an Indian restaurant just after Chicken tikka masala. It’s a bit higher on the calorie scale as the recipe uses lots of cream and butter. It makes this particular dish more appropriate for occasional treats.




Today I will share the recipe of Paneer Butter Masala that you can include it in your everyday menu. Basically, my version of Paneer butter masala gives you the same creamy texture of the Restaurant’s recipe but with lesser fat. Instead of butter, I used here Canola Oil and replaced the cream with milk. Not only it’s a healthy version of actual Paneer Butter Masala, but it’s an easy and fast recipe. Trust me it involves very little effort and needs about 20 minutes to complete the dish.





Paneer Butter Masala pairs very well with most of the Indian Bread like Phulkas, Naan, Tandoori Roti, Paratha etc. as well as with some Rice dishes like  Pulao, Jeera Rice or even with plain rice. 



Recipe Of Paneer Butter Masala:

Ingredients:

Paneer: 200g, cut into small cubes (for best result use homemade Paneer or Haldiram's Malai Paneer)
Oil (or Butter) : 2 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons
Fenugreek seeds: 1/2 teaspoon
Green Cardamoms: 3 
Cinnamon stick: 1 inch 
Cloves: 3 
Tomatoes: 2 large, make it puree 
Green Chili: 1 paste
Ginger paste: 1 teaspoon
Garlic paste: 1 tablespoon
Kashmiri Red chili powder: 1 teaspoon 
Coriander powder: 1 teaspoon 
Cashew paste: 2 tablespoons 
Milk: one cup or as needed. 
Crushed Dry Fenugreek Leaves (Kasuri Methi): 1/4 teaspoon 
Salt: as needed 
Sugar: one teaspoon or to taste 

Method:

1. sprinkle salt over the paneer pieces. Toss gently and set it aside. Take a pan, add oil to it and heat it up. Lightly fry the paneer pieces until they are golden color on both sides. Once they are done, set it aside. 

2. Add the remaining oil to the pan, add fenugreek seeds. Once aroma comes up, either you can discard the fenugreek seeds from the oil or keep it as it is. But don't burn it. It will taste bitter if it is burnt. 

3. Add green cardamoms, cinnamon stick and cloves to the oil. Once it sizzles, add garlic paste, ginger paste, and green chili paste. Fry it until raw smell goes off. 

4. Add tomato puree to the pan. Stir it and cook for a couple of minutes. Once it becomes thick and the oil starts to come up from the sides of the pan, add Kashmiri red chili powder and coriander powder. Stir and cook it for another couple of minutes. 

5. Add the cashew paste to the pan. Stir it to mix it nicely. Cook it again until oil separates from the spice mixture. Add salt and sugar. Add the crushed fenugreek leaves. 

6. Add a cup of milk. You can add little more or less milk as per your desired consistency. 

7. Once the gravy starts to boil, lower the flame and add fried paneer pieces to the gravy.  Stir gently and cover the pan. Let it simmer for another 7 to 8 minutes. Check the seasoning, add salt and sugar if needed. Once the gravy reaches your desired consistency switch off the gas. Paneer Butter Masala is ready. Garnish it with chopped Coriander and serve hot with your choice of Indian bread or Rice preparation.
