Using fresh jackfruit to make a cake is a delicious and unique idea! Here's a simple recipe for a Jackfruit Cake:

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh ripe jackfruit, chopped and seeds removed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or walnuts)
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Cooking spray or extra oil for greasing the pan
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or a light coating of oil. You can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a blender or food processor, puree the chopped jackfruit until smooth. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs and mix well.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the cake dense.

Gently fold in the jackfruit puree, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut (if using) into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

You can serve the jackfruit cake as is or dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze for added sweetness.

Enjoy your delicious homemade Jackfruit Cake with the unique tropical flavor of fresh jackfruit from your countryside!
