Eggless Malai Zebra Cake

It is common to extract butter/ghee from Malai. I think all of us do it. But now bake a cake with this malai. It’s amazing to see that how a wonderful n soft cake is baked using only malai without any oil or butter or curd or condensed milk or blah blah blah… Malai cake is a soft n spongy cake made with very few ingredients. Apart from Baking Powder and Baking Soda, it has just 4 ingredients. Yes, only 4. And these four ingredients are wheat flour, brown sugar, milk and of course milk cream, that is, malai. As you can see it is a very healthy cake and hence can be eaten at any time of the day. You can give it in your kiddo’s lunch box or in the breakfast or as an after-school snack or in the evening… anytime. Before you move into your lab just a few pointers. First of all, try using fresh malai, that is maximum 3 to 4 days old malai only. For one cup flour, you need approximately 3/4th malai. Now, its difficult to have it in one day. So keep collecting it in the refrigerator. In the refrigerator, keep the collected malai in the Chill tray, that is the tray which is just below the freezer and is the topmost in the refrigerator compartment. Or keep it where there is maximum cooling. But not in the freezer. This is because we want soft malai and not hardened. Secondly, before starting the cake, take out the malai from the refrigerator and let it sit on the kitchen counter for 10 -15 minutes(maybe more in winters). And lastly, add sugar to malai and beat it using a whisk till sugar dissolves completely and all the lumps in the malai are gone. So, start collecting malai and bake a healthy Malai cake for your Mom on this Mother's Day.
