Milk Cake | 5 Ingredient Milk Cake Recipe | Deepavali 2019 Special Recipes By Masterchefmom

Hi Supermoms, 

I know that all of you are busy in welcoming the festival of lights. 

Preparing sweets and savouries for sharing  is such an integral part of this celebration. Along with cooking for our family and friends, it would be a great gesture if we can share home made sweets with less privileged people around us. 

Today, I am going to share a dessert/sweet that you can prepare in large quantities with ease. Only three main ingredients to make this recipe - Milk powder, ghee and sugar. You also need not worry about the one-string consistency of sugar as this cake is so forgiving. Also, the milk cake can be made within 15 minutes !

It tastes so delicious that the milk cakes will disappear very fast. 

I am sure I have tempted you enough to try this recipe immediately. You can first try with half cup and once confident can make a larger batch. 

Milk Cake :

Preparation time : 2 minutes
Cooking time : 12-15 minutes
Makes : 60 medium size milk cakes 
1 cup = 250 ml cup

Ingredients :

1 cup milk powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup ghee ( melted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
7-8 pistachios (sliced)

Method :

1. Grease a wide plate /baking tray with ghee.
2. Line the tray with butter paper or parchment paper and grease again.
3. Sprinkle pistachios slices and set it aside.

4. Add sugar and water to a thick bottom kadai/wok and place the kadai over medium heat.

5. While the sugar is melting add the vanilla essence.
6. In a separate bowl, add milk powder and melted ghee.

7. Mix well to make a lump-free mixture.
8. Once the sugar syrup starts boiling and becomes thick, add the ghee-milk powder mixture and keep stirring over low flame.

9. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
Chef tips :
         a. Do not over stir else the cake will become too hard and chewy.
         b. To find if the mixture is ready, take a spoon and remove a very small portion of the milk cake mixture and and drop it in another small cup. If you able to roll it into a ball, then your mixture is ready. Immediately switch off and transfer the mixture into the greased tray. 
10. Once the milk cake reaches the desired consistency, immediately transfer it into the greased tray. You can grease the backside of a spoon with ghee and gently rub and smoothen the top layer of the cake. 

11. After 5-7 minutes or when the cake has cooled a little, you can make slight cuts using a greased knife.
12. Once, completely cool, you can cut them into smaller pieces.

Your milk cake is now ready. You can store them upto 5 days without refrigeration and 7 days with refrigeration. Milk cake is so easy to make and so yum!!

Happy Deepavali !

With love,
