Goan Jackfruit Cake

Delicious jackfruit cake baked using the rossal jackfruit (the softer variety of jackfruit is known as rossal in Goa). This cake is baked with rice, coconut, Goan palm jaggery along with the jackfruit kernel. A tea time Goan specialty and specially for those who don't like the taste of jackfruit. This cake is originally steamed (steamed version is known as mados / dhonus). But I have baked this one.

  1. I am sure this can be steamed into idli.

    1. Hi Dr Bhat, I haven’t tried that 🙂 let me know if you do.

  2. Good you put the watermark on the pic. 🙂

  3. It is delicious when steamed like an idli. I added just a small pinch of baking soda and it became spongy.

    1. Thanks Shiv Kumar for your feedback 🙂 Glad that you like it 🙂

  4. Lovely Zanti. I shall try this.

  5. Can I try this with normal joggery

    1. Hi pooja
      Yes you can try this with any jaggery 😊

  6. Xanti what rice do u use?

    1. Hi
      If your not in Goa , then use the matta rice that is available in indian stores…else use the Goan parboiled rice…

  7. i tried the mandos but it didnt became hard.

    1. Hi Clara
      It’s usually not very soft
      . It is on the harder and very firm side .

  8. i used 2 cups of rice, 1 coconut 25 pcs jackfruit, 1 coconut, and half tsp baking powder. but i put water while grinding, could be it that went wrong.

    1. Probably

  9. Hi do take orders for the cake

    1. Hi I don’t take any orders 😊

  10. Hi..at what temperature should i bake this cake ? Should i keep both heating rods on in the oven along with fan?

    1. Step number 7 , the temperature is mentioned …
      please check your oven for the BAKE option or how the BAKE works with respect to your oven , use it the same way that you would use to bake any other stuff in your oven

  11. Tried baking this just the way as your recipe …centre was raw….
    Guess it is better to steam this cake

    1. Yes

  12. Can I use rice flour instead of soaked rice?

    1. Hi Angela
      You may use but the texture will not be the same as with the grind rice
      .
