Here in Australia it is called Madeira Cake...because australians are crazy people and they dont do whatt the rest of world does ani maa teacher explain chesaru..

Fruit Cake (Indian Version)
Contributor: Amu
I am giving the Indian version first...and then follow up with changes in western version(or version I know and use)
To get good intense flavour...you need to soak all your Dry Fruits and Nuts in either Brandy or Rum...The longer you soak the better flavour.(at work here we soak for 3 months...i have heard from friends that their granmoms have a barrel kept in the basement all year long and they just top up each christmas after they use what they want)...For this recipe I would suggest you to atleast soak for 1 week..
Dry Nuts you can use are Almonds and Walnuts...chopped up roughly
Dry Fruits or common called as Glace fruit - mix Glace Cherries/Tutti Frutti(Red, Green and Yellow),Dates, Sultanas(Kismis) and Raisins (Dehydrated Plums).
Mix all above Nuts and Fruit in large bowl/container and pour enough Rum/Brandy to cover the fruits and cover it with a cloth tied to it tightly...there should be no openings at all. You need to open this once a day and give it a good mix using a wooden spoon.
When you want to use take amount you want and drain off excess alcohol...fruits would have turned a lil plump after absorbing the alcohol flavour....
Ingredients
300gms Unsalted Butter
300gms White Sugar
6 Whole Eggs(50gms Eggs)
300gms Plain All-Purpose Flour(Maida)
1tsp Baking Powder
1tsp All Spice Powder (cinamon,cloves,cardamom)
300gms Dry Fruits and Nuts (Soaked in Rum/Brandy already)
1/2 Cup Rum (Optional- use it only if you have not soaked the fruits in Alcohol)
Procedure
1) Preheat oven to 190*C if normal or 170*C if fan-forced.
2) Cream Butter and Sugar using a Electric Beator on medium high till it has risen and is light and fluffy and also pale in colour.
3) Add eggs one by one slowly till they get well incorporated by using the electric whisk.
4) Sieve Flour, Spice powder and Baking powder to mix all dry ingredients properly.
5) Fold the flour mixture into the above butter +egg mixture carefully in slow steady movements taking care to not knock out the air in the mixture.
6) Add the Mixed Fruits and Nuts into the above mixture and mix till evenly distributed.
7) Rum/Brandy is optional. But people who dont mind liquor in food can add it to enhance Flavour. But only add this if you have not soaked your fruits and nuts already..if not it will be a lil too much..
8) Oil Spray the cake tin lightly first and then Line the Cake Tin(10 inch one if tin is not too deep or 8 inch one in tin is deep) with baking paper.
9) Bake it in oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your oven or until a skewer inserted in between comes out clean.
10) Once done let the cake cool in the tin for about 10 minutes and then remove it onto a wire cake rack to cool further.
You can eat it as it is...warm and served with Vanilla Sauce(recipe will be posted).
Or if you want to give that extra great look...decorate it with royal icing....and Wide satin ribbons....
Royal Icing Deco...
Heres goes my professional knowledge on display for you....to make your cake extra special...
b]For a Professional Look
1) Once the cake is COMPLETELY COOLED you can cover it with Royal Icing (readily available in cake deco shops and most supermarket)..It is like a dough made with Icing sugar. Glucose and a lil corn starch....
2) Care should be taken to not expose this stuff to air for too long...It DRYS up too fast...so always keep in covered using Cling Film or lightly damp Tea towel.
3)When ypu are ready to roll the icing... You can dust a plain hard surface with Pure Icing Sugar and the roll the Royal icing like how we do a chapati but ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION(ante roll and lift and roll...dont move your rolling pin too and forth like we do for our chapatis)...roll it to the desired thickness... The movements should gentle but steady at same time to avoid cracks in the icing...
4)Then apply a lightly beaten EGG WHITE all over the rolled icing and drape the egg white side on...over your cake so that it covers all sides and smooth it out using the rolling pin in light movements. The Egg whites help the Icing to stick to cake...
5) Trim the excess off..leave it for a while and then decorate the top as you wish...
Some Deco Suggestions..
1) You can use a Wide Satin ribbon and just cover the sides and tie a nice Bow in the front. you can use egg whites to help you stick the ribbon with out movement.
2) You can make a Bow design using Ribbons and then stick on top..
3) You ca buy ready made Sugar Flowers from Cake Deco shops and decorate on top....
I will attach one cake I made last christmas for my Husbands Christmas Party at work... I forgot to take a snap but this was saved in a Frens(Bhanus College) Flicr album for quite some time and managed to convince him to send it to me...(Stupid sent me only with condition that i make him another one this Christmas)
What i did was put the cake on a small cake board...draped the Royal icing...
Then decorated with a Holly Wreath that i made with Royal Icing again...I was in doing Sugar Works class at that time...so practice session lo I did the Wearth at school and used it on my cake....Ding
You can get ready made flowers in many cake deco shops...use them...but be very gentle when transporting them....
I got the ribbons ready before i put them on the cake...esp the bow...once on cake i adjusted and stuck ribbons using egg whites...
Here goes the cake photo....
http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/amulyagade/Cakes
I keep making these cakes on occasional basis only also at work...In australia we dont have much demand for such cakes...because of our climate....people prefer more fresher cakes with fresh creams etc....and mainly Chocolate....
Hope all is clear in the above recipe...any doubts ask me....
I follow this post up with western version.....and recipe for vanilla sauce if eating cake without any deco.....
I am giving the Indian version first...and then follow up with changes in western version(or version I know and use)
To get good intense flavour...you need to soak all your Dry Fruits and Nuts in either Brandy or Rum...The longer you soak the better flavour.(at work here we soak for 3 months...i have heard from friends that their granmoms have a barrel kept in the basement all year long and they just top up each christmas after they use what they want)...For this recipe I would suggest you to atleast soak for 1 week..
Dry Nuts you can use are Almonds and Walnuts...chopped up roughly
Dry Fruits or common called as Glace fruit - mix Glace Cherries/Tutti Frutti(Red, Green and Yellow),Dates, Sultanas(Kismis) and Raisins (Dehydrated Plums).
Mix all above Nuts and Fruit in large bowl/container and pour enough Rum/Brandy to cover the fruits and cover it with a cloth tied to it tightly...there should be no openings at all. You need to open this once a day and give it a good mix using a wooden spoon.
When you want to use take amount you want and drain off excess alcohol...fruits would have turned a lil plump after absorbing the alcohol flavour....
Ingredients
300gms Unsalted Butter
300gms White Sugar
6 Whole Eggs(50gms Eggs)
300gms Plain All-Purpose Flour(Maida)
1tsp Baking Powder
1tsp All Spice Powder (cinamon,cloves,cardamom)
300gms Dry Fruits and Nuts (Soaked in Rum/Brandy already)
1/2 Cup Rum (Optional- use it only if you have not soaked the fruits in Alcohol)
Procedure
1) Preheat oven to 190*C if normal or 170*C if fan-forced.
2) Cream Butter and Sugar using a Electric Beator on medium high till it has risen and is light and fluffy and also pale in colour.
3) Add eggs one by one slowly till they get well incorporated by using the electric whisk.
4) Sieve Flour, Spice powder and Baking powder to mix all dry ingredients properly.
5) Fold the flour mixture into the above butter +egg mixture carefully in slow steady movements taking care to not knock out the air in the mixture.
6) Add the Mixed Fruits and Nuts into the above mixture and mix till evenly distributed.
7) Rum/Brandy is optional. But people who dont mind liquor in food can add it to enhance Flavour. But only add this if you have not soaked your fruits and nuts already..if not it will be a lil too much..
8) Oil Spray the cake tin lightly first and then Line the Cake Tin(10 inch one if tin is not too deep or 8 inch one in tin is deep) with baking paper.
9) Bake it in oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your oven or until a skewer inserted in between comes out clean.
10) Once done let the cake cool in the tin for about 10 minutes and then remove it onto a wire cake rack to cool further.
You can eat it as it is...warm and served with Vanilla Sauce(recipe will be posted).
Or if you want to give that extra great look...decorate it with royal icing....and Wide satin ribbons....
Royal Icing Deco...
Heres goes my professional knowledge on display for you....to make your cake extra special...

Pizza Base
Contributor: Amu
Pizza base ki thousands of recipes untayi...meeru yedi vadutunaro....
Naa recipe as follows try cheyandi....
Pizza Base
Ingredients
2 Cups All Purpose Flour(If possible try and get Bakers Flour/ Bread Flour)
8gms Dry Active Yeast(1 Sachet) or 5gms if using Fresh Yeast
1 Cup Water(lukewarm)
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Dry Oregano
10ml(2 Tablespoons) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Process
1) In a bowl, Mix Lukewarm water, sugar and yeast and set aside covered for 10 mintues or until the mixture froths up to alomst double its volume.
2) Then sieve the flour and add salt, pepper and oregano to it.
3) Slowly add water and mix the dough to bring it together. Add the olive oil.
4) Knead it for 10-15minutes till the dough is well mixed and oil is well incorporated. The dough can be a little moist but not to wet. if it too wet then add a little flour. It should be smooth.
5) Leave it covered in a warm spot for 1 hr or till the dough doubles in size.
6) Once dough has risen then remove it onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough till knocked back to almost its original amount.
7) Roll in smooth sraight moves to desired shape of baking tray and once on baking tray apply a little more olive oil.
8) Top with whatever ingredients you want and bake till the base is light golden colour.
The above recipe should make 2x8inch bases if rolling thickly....but if rolling thinly it should easily make 2x10inch bases.
I sometime add a Tablesppon on fine Semolina(Sooji/bombay rava) to give the dough some texture.
Hope recipe is clear....any doubts please ask me...
[one more thing... the properties of flours vary because of various climatic contions like humidity, heat, cold etc....I have given a recipe that works very well in a very varied climate like Melbourne, Australia....extreme cold winters and bizare summers...so check out accordingly for timings to let dough rise etc

Chocolate Mousse
Contributor: Amu
This is a no fuss easy to make Chocolate Mousse recipe..The ones which are sold in western pastry shops basically have GELATIN (A stabiliser) which I dont like using because of where it is derived from....
So my version of Chocolate Mousse....easy to go for you
Ingredients
2 cups (250 grams) dark chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons rum (optional)
1 cup fresh cream (Whipping cream details given above)
Process
1. Combine the chocolate, golden syrup and rum(if using) in a saucepan and melt over gentle heat till it becomes a smooth sauce. Cool slightly.
2. Whip the cream till soft peaks form and fold it gently using a spatula into the chocolate mixture.
3. Pour this mixture into 4 glasses (Wine Glasses will give good effect).
4. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or till the mousse has set.
The better the quality of chocloate the better the mousse will taste... so use dark cooking chocolate that has more cocoa solids(70% and above) appudu the taste will be very very good.....
This is an easy recipe...and tastes the same as if done using Gelatin....but meeku adi kavali ante I will post that one as well..

Heres the Recipe for Cream Icing or Frosting...known as..
Cream Chantilly...
Ingredients
250ml Cream (any type mentioned above)
20gms Pure Icing Sugar
1tsp Vanilla Essence or Extract
Process
1)Chill Your Vessel. Firstly half whip the cream till it slightly thickens and add the sugar and vanilla.
2)Then complete whipping until soft peaks form...(that means when you lift or scoo the whipped cream or spoon just a little...the cream should hold its shape...padipokunda...ala nilabadi undagalali...)
Care should be taken that you refegirate cream at all time time to stop it from decolouring(yellowish)....
Variation
You can have flavoured creams like
1) Chocolated flavoured....Premelted Chocolate ni add chessi whip chestee...you get choc flavour..(melted chocolate shd not be hot though when adding to cream)
2) Fruit Flavours...Add Juice of any fruit you want...Max 1/2 Cup to get that flavour in your cream...
3) Colours...If you want colourful looking cream you can add food colour...BY DROPS...till you get desired colour...
But I suggest you to use natural colours for that ante...Fresh fruit pulp can achieve that...esp coloured ones like raspberries and straw berries..
Freshly chopped friut can also be added to Whipped Cream to give that extra feel to the cake...This can be done if using for plain Sponge Cakes...as a filling between layers...
This is just info for all of you to pick tips from...most of you might be knowing them...but thought of posting for people who are new to this....
Hope you Gals like it...
Ingredients
250ml Cream (any type mentioned above)
20gms Pure Icing Sugar
1tsp Vanilla Essence or Extract
Process
1)Chill Your Vessel. Firstly half whip the cream till it slightly thickens and add the sugar and vanilla.
2)Then complete whipping until soft peaks form...(that means when you lift or scoo the whipped cream or spoon just a little...the cream should hold its shape...padipokunda...ala nilabadi undagalali...)
Care should be taken that you refegirate cream at all time time to stop it from decolouring(yellowish)....

Whipping Creams
Contributor: Amu
Different kinds of whipping creams
Different kinds of whipping creams
1) Thickened Cream
2)Heavy Cream (whipping ani raasi untundi)
3) Double Cream
ila raasina yevi ayina whipping cream laga tayaru cheyachu...you just have to whip it...using a hand whisk or electric beater...but care should be taken that these creams are always kept in refrigeration...
These creams sometimes use GELATIN...(a stabiliser made with animal bones)...so check your ingredients befoe using them...non Gelation substitutes vadina creams kuda markets lo dorukutunayi...so it wont be a problem..
Cream of Tartar vaadachu...but sometimes it creates a reation and cream will split( butter avutudi...even though you dont over whip it)...esp koncham older creams ante close to expiry dates vi...
So to avoid that whisk your cream as suggested by Usha in a bowl which is chilled...What i do is I leave the bowl that i am going to whip cream in the refrigerator when i start up cake the process... cake assembling mundala i take out and whip and again keep the whipped cream in fridge till i use it...this way it is ensured that cream stays fresher for longer and does not decolour...I personally dont use the Bowl with ice cubes but is it a good option as well...
Hope this has cleared your query..

Passionfruit Cake or Cupcakes
Contributor: Amu
But those who want to try their hands at new recipes...esp the ones that are east to make...Here's a recipe for you...
Please read the recipe carefully as this recipe can be used for a Cake or Cupcakes.
Passionfruit Cake or Cupcakes
It is a different take to a light cake like a sponge...using a different set of ingredients than a traditional cake....It is simple and very very easy to make...so give it a try...
Ingredients:
1 cup oil (can be any light oils like vegetable or canola oil)
1 cup natural yougurt
2 cups self-raising flour
2 eggs(whole)
1.5 cups caster sugar (or fine white sugar)
1/2 cup Passionfruit pulp (fresh or frozen)
Process:
1. Preheat oven till 150*C.
2. In a large bowl...firstly add the oil and sugar and whisk using a hand whisk (not a machine operated one) and mix till the sugar is dissolved.
3. Then add the 2 eggs and mix in till they well incorporated into the mixture...donot overbeat.
4. Then add the yougurt and mix thru...again only to incorporate it well thru the mixture....donot overbeat it.
5. Add the flour and mix till the flour is mixed thru...donot overbeat esp after the flour is added.
6. Finally add the passionfruit pulp and mix till well incorporated...
7. Oil Spray a round cake tin (8" min to 10" max) and then fill the cake mixture till it reaches max 2/3rds of the tin..
8. Place it in the oven and bake till for about 20 to 30 mins or till a skewer inserted thru the centre comes out clean. Cool well on a wire rack before icing.
Please Note : If you donot want to make a cake of the above recipe then bake them as cup cakes filling the paper cups(the paper patty cups)placed in a muffin or cupcake baking tray upto 2/3rds.
Icing :
Mix pure icing sugar with some passionfruit pulp.Add water if need be. The consistency should be like a paste....not too watery and also not too thick...just plain spreadable...
Over turn the baked cake so you get the smooth side on top and spread the icing evenly on top....you can slice up the cake and eat it as it is or serve it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream....
Same applies with Icing Cupcakes..just take the cups out of the tray and spread the icing on top...
Variation:
If you are not a passionfruit enthusiast then you can replace it with either fresh raspberries or strawberries(roughly chopped)
For icing....if using raspberiies...then make icing using raspberry jam mixed with icing sugar + lil water or if you strawberries then use strawberry jam to make the icing mixed with icing sugar + lil water.
Hope you like this recipe...it is very easy....TRUST ME...less time consuming...but very very tasty.....
Please do give it a try and let me and others know how it turned...
I posted this recipe when I was in the Hot seat and if anyone has tried before this do let us know...
Thank You..

Ingredients:
1 loaf bread
Tadka: musturd, jeera.
1 big onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 green chilies, chopped
Few coriander leaves, chopped

2)Heat oil and add the tadka. Add chopped onion, green chilies, coriander leaves. Fry them till onions are translucent. Add little salt only for the fried veggies.

3. Deep fry vadas.
4. Then soak vadas in luke warm water for 15-20 mins
5. Then squeeze water from vadas pressing them lightly. Then add these vadas to curd.
5. For curd, you can add roasted jeera powder, red chilli powder, coriander chutney and dates chutney.

Capsicum Curry
Recipe 1:
Contributor: Soumya
Ingredients:
2 or 3 green bell peppers or capsicums,
1 small onion
1 tomato
- cut them all into small pieces.
For gravy:
1 cup of roasted peanuts, skins removed
1 tsp red chilli powder
2 tbsps of tamarind juice
2 small pieces of jaggery or tsps of sugar
2 cloves, small cinnamon stick, 1 tsp of cumin (jeera)
1 tsp of salt.
Grind all the above into a smooth paste by adding half cup of water.
Sometimes I substitute peanuts with toasted sesame seeds and sometimes I combine both peanuts and sesame seeds for different tastes.
Preparation:
In a pan, add one teaspoon of oil, when it is hot, add jeera (cumin) and mustard seeds. When they start to dance, add the cut bell pepper, tomato and onion pieces and saute them. Add the prepared peanut paste and half cup of water and mix them together. Don’t dilute the gravy too much. Taste the gravy and add jaggery, salt and red chilli powder if needed. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes on medium flame, covered, stirring occasionally, till the bell peppers become tender and gravy thickens.
This capsicum curry tastes great with rice and with chapati.
