MALAI CAKE

MALAI CAKE ( MILK CREAM CAKE)
        Malai is the thick cream that floats on the top of the boiled and cooled full cream milk . It is skimmed off with a spoon  and collected in a clean container . This cream is used to make butter, ghee ( clarified butter) and a variety of Indian savory dishes .
          Though malai is not suitable for making cheesecakes or Indian sweets , it  can be used instead of oil or butter , to make scrumptious cakes , cupcakes and muffins .
         I have used malai as a base to make these  beautiful and amazing creations .
INGREDIENTS
Whole wheat flour / Refined flour _ 2 cups
Sugar (powdered)     _ 1&3/4 cup
Malai ( milk cream). _ 1 cup
Baking powder_ 1 tsp
Baking soda 1/2 tsp
Milk _ as needed
Vanilla essence
Dry fruits if using
I made the batter in the blender
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180°celcius for 5 minutes

Add  the sifted dry ingredients , (Atta / Maida  + baking powder+ baking soda ) in the malai mixture

Pour into prepared cake dish
Sprinkle dry fruits if using
Bake at 180 ° celcius for 40_45 minutes or till the cake is done

Tiramisu

TIRAMISU This is a sofisticated coffee flavoured layered Italian dessert . Tiramisu means ' cheer me up ' . Indeed it lives up to its name . It's comfort in every bite . A bite into it  , will pepp you up .        The kick of the coffee from the biscuits dipped in it  and the luscious  creamy texture of the cheese are incorporated beautifully together in harmony.           Tiramisu can be served in individual bowls, glasses or set in a shallow dish . Traditional Tiramisu is made savoiardi  sponge biscuits , eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese  flavoured with cocoa and  alcohol .             It's important that the biscuits don't become too soggy or they will crumble and fall apart . You need to be able to taste  the coffee , but not make the dessert bitter at the same time.            As I feel that there is no end to experimentations and playing a...

Marble Cake(Star Cake) / Zebra(Ring Cake)

The design on the star cake was a totally unexpected one, which I could not recreate again, though there has been no compromise on the taste and texture.          I have treated my colleagues to the zebra cake and it had been highly appreciated. The recipes for both the cakes are same, but for the methods, as mentioned in the recipes. I hope you enjoy baking this recipe and share your experience. DRY INGREDIENTS Refined flour - 2.5 cup Baking powder - 2 tsp Baking soda - 1.5 tsp Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp Custard powder - 1 tbsp Cornflour - 1 tbsp Dry fruits like Tutti Frutti, Raisins, Cashews, Coconut flakes, Almonds, Pistachios WET INGREDIENTS (Cream together these wet ingredients in a separate bowl) Sugar - 2 cups Oil -1 cup Vanilla e...
