I made this cake on my husband's birthday. It is stuffed and topped with soft homemade gulab jamuns. I have not used any whipped or heavy cream for frosting. No artificial food colour has been added also. Let's have a step by step look at the recipe.

Steps

90 minutes

1

Take sugar and butter in a mixing bowl and beat with a blender till it gets creamy. For me it took around 5 minutes or so.
2

Add eggs one by one (not all together) and blend till the batter becomes creamy and fluffy and forms soft peak.
3

Add seived maida, vanilla essence, baking powder and mix it in cut and fold method. Finally blend all together for a minute or so.
4

Preheat microwave oven in 180 degree in convection mode.
5

While preheating oil brush the cake tin and sprinkle some maida so that the baked cake easily comes out of the tin.
6

Pour one layer of the batter in cake tin then place 5 to 6 mashed Gulabjamuns and pour the rest of the batter.
7

Finally bake it for around 20-25 minutes in 180 degree.
8

For frosting mix and blend all the ingredients well. If it's too thick you can add more milk. The consistency will be on the thicker side, otherwise it will get absorbed in the cake.
9

Spread a thin layer of the frosting over the cake and place some soft gulab jamuns and dry fruits at the top.
