Ideally making rabdi is quite a tedious task, as is the case with a lot of Indian dairy-based desserts. Shahi tukda is a rich Mughlai dessert made with homemade ghee-fried bread slices soaked in rose cardamom sugar syrup, topped with fragrant, creamy rabdi (sweetened, thickened milk) and garnished with nuts. Traditionally shahi tukda is made with rabdi which is made by slow cooking milk for hours till it thickens and gets creamy in consistency. In this recipe, I used instant rabdi method.
Instructions to make Shahi Rabdi Cake:
- For cake base - Take a 8 inch round cake mold and grease entire mold with oil or melted butter using a brush.
- Sprinkle some maida over the surface and tilt the mold in all directions so the maida covers the greased surface. Line the mold with butter paper.
- Sift 200gms all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Add 250 ml plain yoghurt and 165 gms granulated sugar in another bowl.
- Mix well with an electric beater and add 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp baking powder.
- Mix well again and let the mixture sit idle for 5 minutes. As the baking soda starts to react with curd, bubbles will start to appear on the surface.
- Add 2 eggs, Add 125ml oil (use less strong smell oil eg. Sunflower Oil) & add 1/4 tsp vanilla essence and mix well.
- Now add previously sifted flour, mix well with electric beater until smooth.
- Add this cake batter in previously greased cake mold. Place it in Microwave for 35 minutes at 180°C.
- Remove the mold from Microwave, insert the toothpick in the center to check whether it is fully cooked or not. If it's not cooked properly then keep it for another 5 minutes.
- Let it cool for 15 minutes and then run the knife on sides and remove the cake on the cake board or any serving plate.
- For Malai Rabdi - Take 1 litre full fat milk in a kadai & begun to heat the milk on a low to medium flame, till the milk starts to froth or form a layer of cream/malai on top.
- So when you will see the cream floating on top, then with a spatula, gently move the cream layer.
- And bring it towards the side of the pan and stick it to the pan.
- Keep on simmering the milk like this and collecting the cream layer on the sides and sticking it to the pan.
- This process of collecting the cream has to be done many times. Continuous simmering of the milk will bring the cream on top and you have to bring & stick it to the sides. In between also stir the milk gently on occasions, so that the milk does not get burnt from the bottom.
- Here the milk has reduced to half about 30 minutes later. And you will see the layers of cream collected on the sides has thickened also.
- Once the milk reduces to half, then add 3 tbsp sugar. You can add sugar as per your taste.
- Then add a 15 to 18 strands of saffron, which have been crushed and ½ tsp cardamom powder. Stir gently.
- The cream layer will be collected on the sides. Scrape off the entire cream layer as well as dried milk solids and add to the thickened milk.
- Keep stirring gently and now till it is reduced to 1/3rd quantity of 1 litre.
- For Icing - Take the whipped cream and with help of electric beater start whipping the cream, till it gets stiff peeks.
- Take a knife cut the cake horizontally in half. Place one layer of cake sponge on plate and sprinkle some sugar water to keep the cake moist.
- Now apply this icing cream and add a layer of malai rabdi and some crushed mixed dryfruits.
- After this cover the cake with another layer of cake and apply the icing cream and cover the whole cake.
- You can also design the cake borders using the pipping bag and cake nozzles. Add some sprinkles on top and decorate it.
- Refrigerate the cake for around 4 hours. Once the cake is completely chilled now we can work on fondant part.
- For fondant- I have used ready to use sugar paste (fondant) of various colors - green, yellow, red, purple, orange, white.
- All the things - Rakhi, Thali, Gifts are edible and hand made without any fondant molds.
- It's time to Celebrate Rakshabandhan with your family with this delicious Malai Rabdi Cake.
- Ready to serve and ENJOY!
