A unique cake made with mutton keema, a versatile ingredient typically used in savory dishes, has recently caused a stir among food enthusiasts on Instagram. The cake, showcased in a video by @vidhus.kitchen, features layers of sponge cake, mutton curry, whipped buttercream, and various toppings such as flowers, coriander, dry chillies, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. The creator of the cake, Vidhu, describes the process of assembling the cake and expresses excitement about her children’s reaction to it.
The video has garnered over 3.5 million views, but not all reactions have been positive. Many foodies have expressed disapproval of the cake, comparing it unfavorably to the iconic savory-sweet dish made by the character Rachel Green in the popular TV show Friends. Some suggestions for alterations to the recipe include using herb garlic cream cheese frosting, savory bread, or mayonnaise instead of whipped cream.
This is not the first time a bizarre cake has caused a reaction on social media. Previously, a “pani puri” cake went viral, with foodies criticizing it as a “horrible surprise.” In another instance, a dosa was described as a “naked crepe” in a viral post by Harsh Goenka.
