Ras malai cake

Rich and tasty rasmalai tres Leches Cake is made with spongy cake soaked in 3 types of milk (evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream) and frosted with whipped cream frosting. Bakery-style Indian cake is one of the quickest and can be made even by a beginner without any hassle. The 6-inch cake is perfect for any small event/ birthday party/ special occasion

CAN I USE WHEAT FLOUR INSTEAD OF ALL-PURPOSE/FLOUR?

For a light and soft cake, all-purpose flour is preferred. Using wheat flour might result in a dense cake and soaking might be perfect. If you prefer to use wheat flour choose fine ground flour and add an extra 2 or 3  tbsp of water.  Use a generous amount of milk mixture to make it moist.

CAN I USE BUTTER INSTEAD OF OIL?

Yes, oil can be substituted with melted unsalted butter but oil makes the moist cake. We have to refrigerate the cake for at least 1 day for milk to soak well and keep it refrigerated till you finish the cake so use flavorless oil for the best ras malai tres leches cake.

CAN I DOUBLE THE RECIPE AND MAKE TWO LAYERS OF TRES LECHES CAKE?

Yes, You can double the recipe and prepare cakes in two 6 or 7-inch springform pans but soak both layers separately in a milk mixture and refrigerate. After both layers are well soaked assemble the cake. 

HOW CAN I ADOPT THE RECIPE FOR OTHER CAKE PANS?

I have used a 6-inch cake pan. You can also bake the cake in a 7-inch cake pan. Double the recipe for the 9-inch best-ever eggless rasmalai cake.

DO I NEED A CHEESECAKE PAN/SPRINGFORM PAN FOR TRES LECHES CAKE?

A Cheesecake pan is optional for malai cake but after soaking the cake in milk mixture it is easy to unmold the cake from springform. If you are using the regular cake pan use a cling wrap before soaking the milk mixture for easy unmolding.
