Rasmalai Cake

Rasmalai cake that I baked for Fathers day 2020.

I can vouch you will have palatable, luscious and  toothsome rasmalai cake if you follow the below instructions:-)

I went through many You tube videos and my fav ones are Huma in kitchen and The Terrace kitchen

I also got few tips from my baking friends for baking evenly flat sponge cakes which is really needed for this recipe. Preppy kitchen has few tips for baking evenly at the corners.

Rasmalai - Store bought or you can make fresh rasmalais ( i make it with rasgullas)

Ingredients For making Rasmalai from Rasgullas

• 15 rasgullas ( Haldirams store bought rasgullas)
• 3 cups Milk
• 1cup Sugar syrup from rasgullas

Method:

• Heat Milk in a heavy bottomed vessel.Take 2 tablespoons of warm milk and keep saffron soaked till needed.
• Boil milk for 30 minutes in very low flame. Keep stirring now and then.
• When the volume reduces almost half,add the saffron soaked in the milk and sugar syrup from Rasgullas and boil for 10 more mins.
