In a bowl add butter and powdered sugar and whisk it until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Now add mawa and mix it well too. I have used electric beater to beat them. It will become cream-like consistency.

Once it's done, add condensed milk and mix everything well together. No need to worry if there are any lumps.

Then add vanilla essence and give it a mix. After this the texture would be slightly curdled up. But no worries, it won't affect your cake anyway.

Now incorporate all the dry ingredients like maida, baking powder, baking soda & elaichi powder to it, by keeping a strainer over it. Now strain them well & mix it by using cut and fold method. Mix by adding some milk, little by little.

Donot whisk the batter just mix them well. Remember that the batter would be slightly thicker consistency as compared to other cake batter. Now greese a 7 inch cake tin with some oil, place a butter paper over it then again brush ot with more oil & then dust some flour/maida over it and dust the extra maida from the cake tin.

Now for pre-heating, take a kadai & let its base covered with salt and a stand over it. Cover it and pre-heat the kadai for 5 mins on high flame and then 3 mins. on medium flame.

Now pour the cake batter into it. Then dab it twice so that the air bubbles gets removed. Then dust the almond flakes with some dry flour and sprinkle them over the cake. Dusting the flakes with some flour before sprinkling it over the cake is essential so that the almonds doesn't gets sinked.

After 8 mins of pre-heating, place the cake-tin over the stand & immediately cover the kadai & bake it on a low flame for about 50 mins approximately. After 50 mins of baking, check it by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clean then your cake is done.

This winter and even on this Christmas evening, enjoy this special "Mawa Milk Cake" with your family and friends & make them feel special.
