Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor and texture, sprinkle chopped pistachios or rose petals on top of the cupcakes before baking—they complement the gulkand beautifully and add a visual appeal.
- If you’d like a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond or coconut milk, which pairs especially well with the floral notes of gulkand.
- Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, but refrigerate if keeping longer, as gulkand can make the cupcakes moist and more perishable.
- For an impressive presentation, fill the center of each cupcake with a small spoonful of gulkand before baking; the gulkand will create a delicious, gooey center once baked.
