CREAMY MILK CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup sugar
½ cup whole milk (warm)
½ cup oil or melted butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
For the Milk Soak:
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup full cream milk
½ cup fresh cream or thick malai
½ tsp cardamom powder (optional)
For the Topping:
Whipped cream or thick malai
Crushed pistachios or almonds (optional)
Rose petals or silver leaf (optional, for garnish)
🥣 Instructions:
1. Make the Cake:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a bowl, sift flour and baking powder.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (5–6 mins).
Add oil, vanilla, and warm milk slowly. Mix gently.
Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly and poke holes all over the top with a skewer or fork.
2. Prepare the Milk Mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, full cream milk, cream, and cardamom powder.
Slowly pour this over the warm cake, letting it soak in. Chill for at least 2–3 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Top & Serve:
Spread whipped cream or fresh malai over the chilled cake.
Garnish with chopped pistachios, rose petals, or silver leaf.
Cut into slices and serve cold!
