This is one of my favourite cakes. I make this using vegetable oil as a substitute for salad oil. I also use 1 1/2 tsps. vanilla essence in the cake batter. Since I do not have cream cheese, I had to make changes as for the icing part of this recipe. I omitted the cream cheese, powdered sugar and butter that form a part of the icing in this recipe. Instead, I used all the ingredients mentioned under "For cake" and in addition to that, I used 1 mango(made its puree in the blender) and an additional tsp. of vanilla essence in the cake mixture. I also omitted the pineapples as I didnt have the tin unfortunately. Instead, I added a tsp. of pineapple essence to my cake mixture ingredients. This is a real good cake!! Thanks for sharing:-)
