How to make Eggless Gulab Jamun Mix Sooji Cake
Prepare the Cake Batter
Combine the gulab jamun mix, semolina, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Add the yogurt and ghee (or melted butter). Mix well to form a smooth batter.
Gradually add the milk to achieve a thick yet pourable consistency.
Add the cardamom powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix gently.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the liquid.
Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 6-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts and saffron strands (if using) over the batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Optional Sugar Syrup
In a small saucepan, heat the water and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add a few drops of rose essence for a fragrant syrup.
Once the cake is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the syrup over the top for extra sweetness and moisture.
Serve
Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
Serve it as a dessert or enjoy it with tea for a sweet treat.
Tips & Tricks
Adjust the amount of milk to achieve the desired batter consistency.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
