Milk Cake / Alwar ka mawa
Milk cake is also known as Alwar ka mawa which is a traditional Indian sweet prepared using milk, sugar and ghee. Alum powder or fitkari is used to split the milk and then the milk is reduced until it is thick like mawa. This sweet is time consuming but it is worth trying. Homemade milk cake turns out so delicious that you will definitely make it again. It is very easy but we have to be patient to prepare this sweet as it is prepared on low to medium heat and that is why it takes a lot of time. This delicious sweet can be prepared during festive season.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
First of all, take a small piece of alum and crush it to make a fine powder.
- 2
Heat milk in a pan. When it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and keep on reducing until it remains little more than half. Now add alum powder to it and give it a good stir. Keep on stirring frequently while it is reducing. Keep on scraping dry milk from the side and putting it back into the milk.
- 3
You can use a potato masher to break the uneven lumps and to get an even texture. Now add sugar to it and let it melt completely. When sugar water almost evaporates, add one tbsp ghee at a time and keep on mixing.
- 4
Keep on reducing it until it looks almost dry and it gets a light golden colour.
- 5
Now add the mixture to a greased tin and cover it with foil paper. Now cover the whole thing with a thick towel and leave it aside for 4 hours so that it keeps on cooking from inside and it will get a lovely colour.
- 6
After 4 to 5 hours, demould it and cut it into the desired shape. This will give you around 20 pieces.
- 7
Garnish it with pistachio slivers and rose petals. Store it in an air tight container for 4 to 5 days at room temperature.

Doing so will give you a fine textured sponge cake .Please adjust the cooking time depending on your oven. Don't bake too much.It's so moist and fluffy because the sponge cake is made using a lot of milk!! Recipe by AAlly

Exquisite Tart Tatin-style Apple Cake Exquisite Tart Tatin-style Apple Cake
I based this recipe on Makiko Fujino's "Tart Tartin Style Cake" and adjusted the ingredients to my preference and also reduced the amount of tools used to save on clean-up time.I use a Teflon-coated deep pot with removable handles that can be used in the oven. This saves on clean-up time and is simple and easy for cooking! But it's fine to use a pot with handles that can be put in the oven. If you don't have one, make the caramel in a small sauce pan, then pour it into a round cake pan. The cake is delicious fresh from the oven, but if you let it sit for 1 to 2 days, the caramelized apples will blend into the cake and it will become nice and moist. Recipe by *porin* -
Roll Cake for Babies Roll Cake for Babies
I made this simple cake because I thought it is too early to give my baby a regular cake. It is not that sweet. It is not something delicious since it is for babies, but I wanted to keep this recipe as a commemoration.It is easy to sift the flour using a tea strainer. The crepe will be moist if you rest the batter. Please decorate the cake as you like, since I am not so good at it.Please adjust the sweetness as you like too. You can arrange it by garnishing with fruits or adding rum for adults. Recipe by Vegiko -
Cold Oven Pound Cake Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Ganache Cream Cold Oven Pound Cake Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Ganache Cream
Cold oven pound cake is an old recipe used when the cooling oven from the days cooking provided a delicious dessert. This was a fun trail of a pld classic. I love the history behind classic foods. To compare this to a modern pound cake I wpuld say it's not as dense and has a lighter crumb. It's not as light as a butter cake but in between a pound cake and butter cake. It is amazing with the milk chocolate ganache cream. A refined cupcake with a mild sweetness!
