Rich Rasmalai Cake

Rich Rasmalai Cake, as the name specifies its so rich and just melts in your mouth. Rasmalai, the popular Indian Sweet is brought to us as baked Cake. You may ask how can a dessert turn into Cake.

saffron cake

Yes! The main flavor of rasmalai is from saffron and cardamom. These flavors are just infused into the Cake by adding saffron milk and cardamom powder to it. To make it more rich I added in some ground Pistachio.

In the pic below you can see the lovely color of saffron in the cake layers. Note: I didn’t add any colors.

Now that the base of the cake is ready, its time to soak the cake with the rasmalai milk that you get while making the rasmalai. Done Soaking! Now layer it with whipped cream and chunks of rasmalai and frost it with more cream.

Here is the eggless version of this Rasmalai Cake.

  1. Hi Sharmi, I’m planning to try this recipe. Does it hold in single 7 inch pan or 2 pans. Thank you ?

    1. Single 7″ pan is enough bharathi. Let me know how it turned out after you tried.
