Instructions

  • Thaw the Ras Malai.
  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Set up three mixing bowls.
  • Butter the Pan, Pan can be about 8 in by 8 in or 9 in by 13 in. (I personally like to use a Pyrex dish with lid.)
  • Separate egg whites and yolks into the other two mixing bowls.
  • In the third mixing bowl, sift together all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat egg yolks with ¾ cup sugar with an electric mixer on high speed, until yolks are a pale yellow color.
  • Stir in ⅓ cup milk, kewra, milk from the ras malai and vanilla extract in egg yolk and sugar mixture, set aside.
  • Beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in remaining ¼ cup sugar and beat on high speed until egg whites are stiff but not dry.
  • Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and combine gently with a spatula.
  • Gently fold in egg white mixture with the spatula until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and spread to even out the surface and bake at 350˚F for 30-35 minutes or test with toothpick comes out clean.
  • Take it out of the oven on the kitchen counter.
  • Leave it on the counter to cool down, it will take 60 minutes to cool the cake down.

Milk Mixture

  • Combine ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk, milk from the ras malai milk, and condensed milk.
  • When the cake is cool , pierce the surface all over with a fork.
  • Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the cake.
