Instructions to make Shahi Rabdi Cake:
- For cake base - Take a 8 inch round cake mold and grease entire mold with oil or melted butter using a brush.
- Sprinkle some maida over the surface and tilt the mold in all directions so the maida covers the greased surface. Line the mold with butter paper.
- Sift 200gms all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Add 250 ml plain yoghurt and 165 gms granulated sugar in another bowl.
- Mix well with an electric beater and add 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp baking powder.
- Mix well again and let the mixture sit idle for 5 minutes. As the baking soda starts to react with curd, bubbles will start to appear on the surface.
- Add 125ml oil (use less strong smell oil eg. Sunflower Oil) & add 1/4 tsp vanilla essence and mix well.
- Now add previously sifted flour, mix well with electric beater until smooth.
- Add this cake batter in previously greased cake mold. Place it in Microwave for 35 minutes at 180°C.
- Remove the mold from Microwave, insert the toothpick in the center to check whether it is fully cooked or not. If it's not cooked properly then keep it for another 5 minutes.
- Let it cool for 15 minutes and then run the knife on sides and remove the cake on the cake board or any serving plate.
- For Malai Rabdi - Take 1 litre full fat milk in a kadai & begun to heat the milk on a low to medium flame, till the milk starts to froth or form a layer of cream/malai on top.
- So when you will see the cream floating on top, then with a spatula, gently move the cream layer.
- And bring it towards the side of the pan and stick it to the pan.
- Keep on simmering the milk like this and collecting the cream layer on the sides and sticking it to the pan.
- This process of collecting the cream has to be done many times. Continuous simmering of the milk will bring the cream on top and you have to bring & stick it to the sides. In between also stir the milk gently on occasions, so that the milk does not get burnt from the bottom.
- Here the milk has reduced to half about 30 minutes later. And you will see the layers of cream collected on the sides has thickened also.
- Once the milk reduces to half, then add 3 tbsp sugar. You can add sugar as per your taste.
- Then add a 15 to 18 strands of saffron, which have been crushed and ½ tsp cardamom powder. Stir gently.
- The cream layer will be collected on the sides. Scrape off the entire cream layer as well as dried milk solids and add to the thickened milk.
- Keep stirring gently and now till it is reduced to 1/3rd quantity of 1 litre.
- For Icing - Take the whipped cream and with help of electric beater start whipping the cream, till it gets stiff peeks.
- Take a knife cut the cake horizontally in half. Place one layer of cake sponge on plate and sprinkle some sugar water to keep the cake moist.
- Now apply this icing cream and add a layer of malai rabdi and some crushed mixed dryfruits.
- After this cover the cake with another layer of cake and apply the icing cream and cover the whole cake.
- You can also design the cake borders using the pipping bag and cake nozzles. Add some sprinkles on top and decorate it.
- Refrigerate the cake for around 4 hours. Once the cake is completely chilled now we can work on fondant part.
- For fondant- I have used ready to use sugar paste (fondant) of various colors - green, yellow, red, purple, orange, white.
- All the things - Rakhi, Thali, Gifts are edible and hand made without any fondant molds.
- It's time to Celebrate Rakshabandhan with your family with this delicious Malai Rabdi Cake.
