Birthday Special Rasmalai Cake

As I turned 22 a few days back, my mom & I made this delicious 2-tier Rasmalai Cake! :) and no guesses, it tasted delicious! I hope you like it and try it! I love the taste of saffron/kesar, and hence you will find a lot of it in this recipe!

Ingredient

2 slices

round vanilla sponge cake

4-5 pieces

big kesar rasmalai with rasmalai milk

1-2 gram

kesar / saffron

1 bowl

whipped cream

1/2-1 tbsp

yellow food colouring

2 tbsp

sliced pistachios

1/2 tsp

almond essence

1 tbsp

elaichi / cardamom

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

For the vanilla sponge batter, I had added a few strands of saffron and the two spoons of rasmalai milk to the batter for enhanced taste.

* Step 2

For whipped cream frosting: Add your whipped cream to a bowl (I got the whipped cream from a nearby store) and blend until it forms peaks. Add yellow food colouring, few strands of kesar, almond essence, a few spoons of rasmalai milk and blend until everything is mixed well. Then, put it in the freeze for about an hour and let it cool.

* Step 3

Then, place the first vanilla sponge on your cake board/thali. Cut out the dome of the cake to make it like a flat round platform on the top. Use 1-2 tbsp of rasmalai milk instead of sugar sprinkle to soften the cake. Cover on the top and circumference with a generous layer of whipped cream frosting and even it out with a butter knife. Take two rasmalais and crumble it evenly on the top.

* Step 4

Place the second layer of the vanilla sponge and repeat the same process as mentioned in step 3. (don't just put the crumbled rasmalais this time)

* Step 5

Take a star nozzle and put your whipped cream in a piping bag and attach the nozzle to it. Create a first layer of patterns as you desire. We just made spirals. Then add 2 crumbled rasmalais evenly on these spirals.

* Step 6

Garnish the cake with just a more whipped cream frosting patterns on the top along with strands of kesar and pistachio. Garnish the cake with pistachios along the circumference! Voila, tasty Rasmalai cake is ready!
