Mulberry Cake | Eggless | Gluten Free

Tis' the season of mulberries.

Fresh handpicked Mulberries have been a craze for us since childhood as it is one of those fruits that we get have straight from the tree in Delhi. Living in a city means less access to organic and fresh fruits and vegetables straight from the farm. And Mulberries for me has had a very special place in heart due to all the fond memories of us having it while we were kids, playing under the same huge tree it is today and waiting for them to ripen, to enjoy the very seasonal and super delicious temperate fruit.

But this year I decided to take a step further and experiment with the Mulberries in different ways. One of them was going out to Naturals Ice Cream and having a Mulberry flavoured waffle cone (IHeartMulberry). But the rest involved me baking and spending time in the kitchen.

I made these Eggless and Gluten Free Mulberry cake this time. They are super simple, doesn't take very long and makes for the perfect tea time snack. But being in season for just a meagre 2 weeks, I'm going to wait for the next one to bake it again. Everyone at home and around loved the cake.

Find below the recipe to this really tasty and exotic Mulberry Cake below.
