    "Rasmalai Cake is a Rich & Decadent Vanilla Cardamom Flavoured Eggless Cake, topped with a sweet thickened milk sauce. This cake is perfect when served chilled for any parties, specially diwali or any festive occasions"

    Rasmalai Cake Recipe

    Rasmalai Cake is nothing but a cardamom flavoured eggless cake which is topped with the malai. This cake has all the flavoured of rasmalai but it is inside the cake.

    This is a super delicious rasmalai cake which taste like a rasmalai. This cake is great for any special occasions.

    I have been wanting to bake this cake for a very very long time itself. Finally baked it few days back for this diwali. Usually we make sweets for diwali. This year why not try rasmalai sweet in a cake form. I am sure everyone will love it.

    This cake is EGGLESS & VEGAN
