Celebrate festivities with the exquisite Mattanchere Spice Matured Plum Cake
As the festive cheer envelopes, us and the joyous moments of Christmas and New Year approach, it’s time to cherish the bonds we share with our loved ones. What better way to express this sentiment than by gifting a remarkable delicacy that transcends both time and taste buds?
The authentic Mattanchere Spice Matured Plum Cake is a perfect gift of legacies. For decades served with limited availability in Kochi, this cake has always held a special place in the hearts of many, evoking a sense of nostalgia.
The culinary tale of the exquisite Mattanchere Spice Matured Plum Cake began in the enchanting era of yesteryears when two visionary bakers from Thalassery embarked on an extraordinary mission to create an unparalleled plum cake that was later unveiled at the iconic Casino Hotel in Kochi, Kerala. The masterpiece with its unique maturing process and blend of spices became a cornerstone of a culinary revolution.
Infused with aromatic spices and handpicked currants from the lush terrains of Mattancherry and a double-maturing process that was introduced by Chef Varkey, Mentor of the CGH Earth Group, the Mattanchere Spice Matured Plum Cake promises an exquisite gastronomic expedition.
The artisanal recipe uses a slow-cooking process that unfolds over 10-12 months, driven by the unwavering passion of tradition. The fruit mixture used in the cake embarks on a maturing process in an air-tight drum, allowing nectar formation through slow maturation. A whopping 57% of the cake comprises this matured fruit and nectar, infusing the real taste into every bite. The remaining is packed with trans-fat-free butter, sugar, flour, and eggs, creating the perfect crumb.
As the nectar matures within the crumb, the cake undergoes an additional round of maturation. Packed into tins, these treasures are stored in a dehumidified atmosphere, allowing the flavours to reach their peak.
