Instructions to make Goan batk/baath/batica:
- To make the Goan Batk or any other cake, the first and most important thing is that all the ingredients to be used for baking the cake, should be at room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar (whole), and beat them well using a electric beater or hand whisk.
- Next, add the eggs and the vanilla essence. Beat the mixture well till slightly fluffy.
- Now add the semolina and baking powder and beat again till well incorporated.
- Close with a lid and keep it aside, either overnight or for about 7-8 hours.
- This helps the semolina to soak up well and the cake to become lighter.
- Next morning, grind the grated coconut (discard the last brown scrapings) for 4 – 5 pulses without using any water.
- Add this ground coconut to the soaked semolina batter and mix well.
- Keep aside for about half an hour.
- Grease an 8″ square baking tray with butter and dust it well with some all purpose flour. Upturn and tap to discard any extra flour.
- Pre-heated the oven at 180° C for 10 minutes.
- Pour the prepared cake mixture in the baking tray and bake it at 180° C for about an hour, or till the top is slightly browned.
- Check by inserting a toothpick or a thin knife in the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done!
- Keep it in the closed oven for about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- When the cake is slightly cooled, demould it and upturn on a cooling rack.
