Ingredients

Warm milk – 2 tbsp + 1 tbsp & Whipping cream
Saffron strands – 10 to 15 & 1/4 cup curd
1/2 tsp baking soda & 3 tbsp oil
½ cup sugar & 1 tsp elaichi powder
Maida – ¾ cup & Milk powder – ¼ cup
Baking powder – 1 T & Rasmalai – 250 g
Rose petals & Chopped pistachios
Oddy Ecobake

Directions

Put warm milk in a mixing bowl and add saffron strands to it. Let them sit for 10 minutes until the color of the milk changes to yellow. Add curd and baking soda to the milk mixture and mix well.
Add oil, sugar, and elaichi powder to the same mixture and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and combine them to form the cake batter. Add 1 tbsp of milk to the batter if it's too thick.
Transfer the batter into a cake mould lined with Oddy Ecobake. Bake the cake for 30 minutes in a preheated air fryer at 160 degrees C. Once the cake is baked and cooled, divide it into 3 equal parts.
Place the first layer of the cake on the table, soak it with sugar syrup, and apply whipped cream to it. Add a few crushed rasmalai pieces on top of it and then place the second cake layer.
Repeat the same process for the second and third layers. Frost the cake completely with whipped cream and level it using a card or spatula. Make flowers on the top of the cake using an open star nozzle. Decorate the sides of the cake with rose petals and chopped pistachios.
Place rasagullas on top of each flower. Make a star design at the bottom of the cake with the star nozzle. Garnish the center of the cake with rose petals and chopped pistachios to finish the rasmalai cake.
