Eggless Mawa Rava Cake is a gorgeous tea cake full of Indian flavours. Iyengar bakery rawa cakes are pretty famous and there is a craze among bakers to recreate it at home. Making an eggless version has been in my list for a long time, and one day after so many failed attempts, I nailed it. The cake turned out amazing with so much of flavour because of the mawa added. It doesn’t remind you if cake but an Indian sweet in cake form. This is one of my favourite fusion cakes I did in these eight years of blogging.
Nailed it after two attempts at failing
I made two cakes on that day. The first cake didn’t turn out as expected and was too crumbly. So immediately I did some changes in the recipe and tried it again. I was even recording it for YouTube, so think about how much stress I was having that day. But the second cake turned out too good. I reserved the first cake for Sruti and sent away the second cake to hubby’s office. I was tempted to try it and so tasted a little of the cake and really loved it.
If you let me, I can keep describing about the cake the whole day. But let me stop here. The main reason for the success of the recipe is the addition of mawa. If you live at a place where you get mawa easily in stores, then you won’t have any problem making this cake. But if you live in a place where you don’t get mawa, then you have to make it at home. Making mawa at home needs so much patience and that is why so many stay away from it. Nowadays, I make mawa in minutes in MW and it also has the perfect texture and flavour.
Making mawa for Iyengar Bakery Style Eggless Mawa Sooji Cake can be really easy
Usually online recipes ask you to mix milk and milk powder to make mawa at home. It actually lacks the flavour. So one day I tried it with cream and milk powder, which resulted in a fantastic batch of mawa. So next time, if you are trying Inidan mawa based sweets or this mawa cake, do try my version of the mawa and you will be surprised. If you don’t have a MW, you can also make it on stove top. It takes a bit of stirring for stove top, but it is easier when compared to the traditional mawa preparation.
Make sure Rava is Finely processed
And one more thing to keep in mind, use the finest chiroti rava for the cake. Coarser rawa makes it crumbly. If you don’t get chiroti rava, then run the rava in mixer until fine and then use it in the recipe.
