Milk Cake is a traditional Indian recipe for a classic cake made from milk thickened with milk powder and sugar that's set on a nut base before being inverted and served and which is often prepared for Diwali. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Indian version of: Milk Cake.
Whisk the milk power into the milk until smooth. Turn into a pan then stir in the sugar, ghee and alum.
Heat gently until the sugar dissolves then bring to a boil and continue boiling, stirring frequently, until the ghee begins to separate out.
Grease a dish (I use a silicone cake mould) and arrange the chopped nuts in the base. Pour in the milk mixture then set aside to cool to room temperature.
Invert the cake onto a plate and decorate if desired.
