Mango Baathk/Mango Coconut Cake Recipe

Since this is the First recipe on my Blog, I thought of starting off on a Sweet Note 🙂
Coconut cake or Baathk/Batica(as we Goans call it) is one of my favourite cakes and it is relished by all my friends whenever I prepare it! It is a soft and juicy cake which is usually prepared in many Goan homes and relished by most Goans all around the World! It is eaten as a dessert or a tea time snack.
On the other hand Mango is my favourite fruit, I can have it in ANY form, Whole or Milkshakes, Ice cream, Kulfi etc. and when the Traditional Indian Alphonso Mangoes arrive in Dubai, I go crazy!
So since I love to experiment and play games in my kitchen, I thought why not add some Freshly cut juicy Alphonso Mangoes to my traditional Goan coconut cake/baathk recipe! I'm so glad I experimented this one! It turned out yummm!
