Strawberry and Pineapple Praline Cake
by Tarla Dalal
Praline gives any dessert an irresistible appeal, with its interesting crunch and delightful sweetness. It is easy to recreate the same praline effect using crushed mixed nut chikki.
You just need to be careful to crush the chikki coarsely so you actually meet tidbits of it when you munch on the cake.
In this heavenly Strawberry and Pineapple Praline Cake, vanilla sponge cake is sandwiched with juicy fruits, coated with whipped cream and topped with crushed chikki.
Each bite of this cake is a memorable experience! You can also try making other desserts like Eggless Semolina and Coconut Cake , and White Chocolate Walnut Praline Rocks .
