It is soft rich and full of flavor that makes you close your eyes for a second just to enjoy the moment.

Why This Cake is Pure Magic

Rasmalai is already a dream dessert. Soft cheese patties soaking in sweet saffron milk with a gentle touch of cardamom. Now imagine those flavors wrapped inside a fluffy cake. That is what this Rasmalai Cake Recipe gives you. It is creamy yet light. Sweet yet balanced. It feels like tradition and celebration dancing together on the same plate.

How to Make the Rasmalai Cake Recipe

  1. Bake a soft sponge cake with flour sugar butter eggs and cardamom powder. Let it cool completely.
  2. Drain the rasmalai but keep the sweet saffron milk aside.
  3. Place the first cake layer on a plate and gently pour the saffron milk so it soaks in.
  4. Add pieces of rasmalai on top then a layer of whipped cream for smoothness.
  5. Repeat with the second cake layer soaking it and adding more rasmalai.
  6. Cover the cake in whipped cream and decorate with saffron strands pistachios and almonds.

Serving It Right

Chill the cake before serving so the flavors blend perfectly. Slice it generously. This is not the kind of dessert where you want a tiny piece. Serve it with chai or enjoy it as the grand finale of your meal.
