Watermelon Cake

Imagine eating a guilt-free cake?
Well here you have something perfect for every celebratory moment of your life, even when you’re trying to be on the strictest diets.
Layers of watermelon are drizzled with some balsamic vinegar and salt – if you’re trying to cut down on salt, you can definitely omit salt here.
Then the frosting is a paneer and hung curd mixture, which balances against the sweetness of watermelon and fresh mint beautifully.
Garnish with lots of fresh mint leaves, berries, nuts, seeds – whatever you like!
Thank me later!

This is my ode to family. A butter pecan cake reminds me of nostalgia, the times when large cakes were always on the counter, kids ate without worry at any time they wanted be it a whole fruit or a cracker with cheese. everything came from freshness and not from a package. the times when we kids played outdoors with everyone around and mothers had no idea that we had just gotten into a proper fist fight or scraped our knees from the bicycle. this butter pecan cake is just that. butter is slowly browned first to add a layer of flavour and then swirled into a buttermilk batter and lots of toasty chopped pecans. i add a drizzle of caramel into the batter bc my spirit needed more sweetness!

This is a cake inspired by a children's story book which had multiple mentions of a sticky tea cake with notes of ginger and cinnamon and it instantly brought a vision in my head! So I made up this recipe which now has become a monthly bake especially for the kids - made with whole wheat flour, brown sugar and honey, black tea, ginger, pumpkin spice, and lot's of orange zest and a sneaky slather of orange marmalade! optional is the dark chocolate chunks!
