Indira, Your blog is awesome. I made this cake using Maple Grove Farms pancake mix and also their maple syrup. I was surprised to find them both at my local grocery store. I made these cakes using my mini tart pans. While I was mixing the ingredients, I noticed that the batter was light and fluffy and no wonder the cake turned out great. Thank you for sharing this and other great recipes with all of us.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year too.

Hi Indira,

I tried this recipe today!! Believe it or not, it came out so moist and perfect. I used mixed nuts from a trail mix and it worked just fine. I was always nervous about baking but this recipe made my baking blues disappear. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
I am a very new month old blogger & would really like encouragement from all of you…

Yes Indira, i followed your dream blindly., Using pancake flour is a great idea…because i used to wonder if they do anything else with the pancake flour other than pancakes and waffles. And your cake was so moist and the best part very simple.. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your wonderful comments..

I’m a new visitor to your website, and am truly inspired by the beautiful pictures and your use of Indian cooking techniques/sensibilities together with local and seasonal produce.
I was also curious as to why you use ghee over butter for this recipe, or for baking in general.

Thanks!

Hi Indira,
Thank you for the recipe Indira, I made this cake and came out really good. I used walnuts instead of pecan bcz that’s what I had on hand. My family wants me to make another batch so I am thinking if I can I use whole wheat pancake mix in place of regular one. Please let mek now if is a good idea. Thanks for the great recipe again.

Hi Sudha,
Glad to read that you had success with the recipe.
I have never tried, but I think whole wheat pancake mix also works great for this recipe. If you do not have problem with eggs, please do add one or two eggs to pancake mix, just to be on the safe side and for best results.
Happy cake baking.
- Indira

Hi Indira,

You said “For this recipe, I used Maple Grove Farms brand buttermilk-honey pancake mix, which has both wheat and barley flours in it. The flour-mix worked beautifully and offered a great remedy to my egg-fruit combo cake phobia. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve purchased the cake mix from Fred MeyerÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s grocery.”

Do we need separate cake mix for this?

I am totally in love with this cake. I presume this cake will freeze well too. Persimmons in my town are not that great though.

Thanks for that clarification about buttermilk Indira, I have always wondered about that when I read some recipes…..

Thank you all for your sweet dream like notes.:) Hope you get to try this recipe.

TBC: Blame it on my very active REM sleep pattern.:)

Thanks Nirmala. After seeing your beautiful creations I had to bake something.:)

Hi Miri: Thanks.
About buttermilk - yes, same like ours but here in this pancake flour it’s added dehydrated in milkmaid, milk powder type.

Thank you Archana. They took pity on us what with holidays and all, finally repaired the oven.:)

Hello Snehal: It’s a wonderful combination. Hope you get a chance to try.
