Gulabjamun Cake (without whipped cream & food color) Step by step

-

These days, I try to make everything baby friendly. As parents we love to offer Roop (my 1.5 yrs old handsome boy😍😝) almost everything since he started to have solid foods. 

This Gulabjamun Cake🎂 is also of no exceptions. I made this cake on my husband's birthday. It is stuffed and topped with soft Homemade Gulabjamuns. I have not used any whipped or heavy cream for frosting. No artificial food colour has been added also. Let's have a step by step look at the recipe.

Preparation time: 60 minutes 
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total: 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients : (For the cake)
🔸️1/2 cup powered sugar 
🔸️1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
🔸️1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon maida (all purpose flour)
🔸️3 eggs
🔸️1.5 tsp baking powder 
🔸️1.5 tsp vanilla essence

Baking the cake:
▪️Take sugar and butter in a mixing bowl and beat with a blender till it gets creamy. For me it took around 5 minutes or so.
▪️Add eggs one by one (not all together) and blend till the batter becomes creamy and fluffy and forms soft peak.
▪️Add seived maida, vanilla essence, baking powder and mix it in cut and fold method. Finally blend all together for a minute or so.
▪️Preheat microwave oven in 180 degree in convection mode.

▪️While preheating oil brush the cake tin and sprinkle some maida so that the baked cake easily comes out of the tin.

▪️Pour one layer of the batter in cake tin then place 5 to 6 mashed Gulabjamuns and pour the rest of the batter.
▪️Finally bake it for around 20-25 minutes in 180 degree.

As I already said that I thought of making a baby friendly cake. So for frosting I used,

Ingredients : (For the frosting)
🔸️2 tbsp unsalted butter, 
🔸️2 tbsp low fat fresh cream (can be homemade also)
🔸️Some digestive biscuits (go as per your choice)
🔸️2 to 3 tbsp powdered muesli
🔸️1 tbsp powdered dry fruits
🔸️ 1/2 cup milk

Frosting the cake:
▪️Mix and blend all the ingredients well. If it's too thick you can add more milk. The consistency will be on the thicker side, otherwise it will get absorbed in the cake.

▪️Spread a thin layer of the frosting over the cake and place some soft gulab jamuns and dry fruits at the top.
💕Happy baking💕

Soft Gulabjamuns (using Khoya) Step by step

       This lockdown has made me passionate about dessert making. Or it's better saying I'm missing my otherwise weekends' sweet hauls. My mother is a great cook. I guess she knows everything. Every time I try something new, I call her altogether a minimum of 10 to 20 times to get the perfection. And yes I get the result.        "Gulabjamun" is a milk solid based, very popular north Indian sweet. In English Gulab means "Rose" and Jamun is "blackish purple berry".  This is called as such may be due to its look. I personally love the combination of hot gulabjamun and vanilla icecream. They both create a true heavenly feeling in mouth. Here I made these gulabjamuns to bake a  Gulabjamun Cake . I used khoya or mawa (kheer in bengali) for the preparation. Khoya is the evaporated milk solid which is prepared by continuously boiling the milk on a low flame. Preparation time: 30 minutes  Cooking time: 15 minutes Total: 45 minute

Parenting Done Right : Do Not Let Depression Win

-
As a well known proverb says, "Morning shows the day", whatever you pour on your little one during their childhood, will become parts of his or her mental and physical growth in future. They are the blooming buds. They will choose to act accordingly in their adulthood as they have had perceived in their childhood. So its important to be responsible and sensible parents. As parents ofcourse we wish the best for our kids but sometimes unknowingly we lack the means of providing so. Today's youth fail to control their unchecked emotions often in conflicting situations and out of depression push the life to an end. This is not desirable and acceptable at any cost. They need to understand that life is bigger and beautiful than anything else. Here are some of my observations, (which itself is a continuous process and will continue to be so), perceived as a daughter and as well as a mother. 1️⃣Healthy sleeping and eating habits:  Encourage proper sleeping habits and healthy diet
