Ingredients

1 cup = 240 ml

3/4 cup + 2 tbsp Milk
1.5 tbsp vinegar
1 cup powdered sugar
6 tbsp unflavored oil
1.2 tsp vanilla essence
1+1/4 cup all purpose flour (Maida)
4 Tbsp Milk Powder
1+1/4 tsp baking Powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
400 ml Whipping Cream
creamy filling

Directions

Take a mixing bowl, add ¾ cups or 180 ml of milk, ⅕ tbsp vinegar, mix them well and let it rest for 5-7 mins. Meanwhile preheat a pan with a wire stand in it, on low medium flame for 10 mins.
In the same mixing bowl, add 1 cup of powdered sugar, 6 tbsp oil, 1 ¼ tsp vanilla essence and mix them well. Using a sieve strain 1 ¼ cup of all purpose flour, 4 tbsp milk powder, 1 ¼ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda into the bowl and mix the wet and dry ingredients well to make a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter into the cake tin lined with Oddy Ecobake Baking and Cooking Paper, and give it a tap to remove all the trapped air in between and bake it on low flame for 45-50 mins.
Take a bowl and add 400 ml of whipping cream to it, beat it using a beater or by hand till it gets stiff. Divide the cake into three layers and place one layer on a cake border plate, soak it with sugar syrup and coat it with whipped cream, and spread 2 tbsp condensed milk on it.
Similarly add another two layers following the same process and finally crumb coat the cake and smoothen it using a cake card.
In a separate bowl take 1 spatula whipped cream and add 2-3 drops of turquoise gel food color, mix it. Transfer it into a 120M nozzle piping bag.
Using this piping bag make petals on the outer edge of the cake, as shown in the video.After that make another layer of petals on the inside.
Take remaining blue cream and add some plain whipped cream in it to get a light shade of the previous one. Transfer it into the same piping bag and make the two layers of petals on the inside, as shown in the video.
Again, take remaining cream and add some plain whipped cream to get an even lighter version and make the final two layers of petals on the inside.
Put some golden balls in the middle and use the leftover cream to make similar petals on the bottom of the cake.
