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!
