“Rasmalai Cake is a Rich & Decadent Vanilla Cardamom Flavoured Eggless Cake, topped with a sweet thickened milk sauce. This cake is perfect when served chilled for any parties, specially diwali or any festive occasions”

Rasmalai Cake is nothing but a cardamom flavoured eggless cake which is topped with the malai. This cake has all the flavoured of rasmalai but it is inside the cake.

This is a super delicious rasmalai cake which taste like a rasmalai. This cake is great for any special occasions.

I have been wanting to bake this cake for a very very long time itself. Finally baked it few days back for this diwali. Usually we make sweets for diwali. This year why not try rasmalai sweet in a cake form. I am sure everyone will love it.

This cake is EGGLESS & VEGAN

What is Malai?

Malai is nothing but a thickened milk which has sugar added in them. Full Fat Milk is added to a large pot and the milk is cooked on medium to high heat. The milk solids is then scraped from the sides of the pot and added back into the pot. Sugar is added as per your taste and cooked till it gets thick consistency.
