Eggless Rasmalai Cake | Eggless Cake
Rasmalai is a traditional Indian Sweet that’s made from the Cottage cheese/ Paneer. This sweet is served with a thick milk that’s boiled with saffron, cardamom and sugar. Topped with lot of pistachio’s and almonds. You can use homemade rasmalai, check the recipe from hebbarskitchen.
Now that Rasmalai Cake is getting familiar to everyone. Regular rasmalai cake is made with layers of vanilla cake soaked in saffron milk and chunks of rasmalai, filled and frosted with whipped cream. Here I made saffron, cardamom and Pistachio Cake to make it rich Rasmalai Cake.
Aroma of cardamom and saffron filled my home with joy. For Soaking eggless rasmalai cake, add in the rasmalai milk or make the sugar syrup with some saffron and rose petals.
Enjoy this cake as it is or to make it more tasty fill and frost it with whipped cream. Also do check out Rasmalai Cake with Egg.
