Speckled Tropical Bundt Cake/Pomegranate & tutti frutti studded Pineapple & Coconut bundt cake - #BundtBakers

Sharing is caring!

Our host for march The Mom Chef, gave us a wide theme : Tropical Vacation.  I have put everything tropical in this cake!! 🙂 This bundt is inspired from here. It was an experiment, but we totally loved the final outcome. Though i named it speckled, the color of the cake ended up a bit dark, that we couldn't see the pomegranate pearls and tutti frutti in it. It was all together a flavor bursts in your mouth, a bite of pomegranate, taste of pineapple, a dash of coconut, divinely tropical.

Ingredients

2 cups All purpose flour
1.5 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 & ⅔ cups of Pineapple juice,fresh 
½ cup grated jaggery/Palm sugar
½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
¼ cup pomegranate pearls
¼ cup tutti frutti (candied raw papaya cubes)
¼ cup olive oil
 
Topping
½ cup dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoon sweetened coconut flakes
2 tablespoon fresh pomegranate pearls

 

Method
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. To this add coconut flakes,  pomegranate pearls, tutti frutti, mix well.
  • Add grated jaggery  and oil to pineapple juice and mix well.
  • Now add the wet ingredients to the dry. Using a spatuala,  carefully combine to form a homogeneous mixture.
  • I baked them as 1 small bundt and remaining batter into 12 mini muffins. Prepare the pans, by greasing them with oil and flour 
  • Preheat the oven to 190C. Pour the batter upto ¾ of the pan. Smooth the top. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Take it out of the oven. Remove the cake on to a wire-rack to cool completely.
  • For the topping, melt the choco chips in a  microwave safe mug for a minute. Pour the chocolate on top of the budnt, garnish wtih coconut flakes and pomegranate pearls, serve warm.

  1. "...a bite of pomegranate, taste of pineapple, a dash of coconut." Swoon. That sounds so incredibly delicious. I'd like a slice, please!

  2. Just reading through the description left me wanting a slice of the cake itself! That is amazing...

  3. What is tutti frutti!? I think there was an ice cream flavor with that name that I liked as a kid, it wasn't tropical by any stretch of the imagination though, so I'm guessing it's not the same thing. And that's probably good because your cake looks too good to not be delicious. 🙂
