Thandai Mawa Cake is infused with flavours of thandai and is a rich cake which taste like Indian Mithai (Indian sweets). Thandai is a sought over milk drink at Holi. Holi is one of the most popular festivals of India and is also known as the festival of colours and usually celebrated around March.
Thandai is prepared with a mixture of almonds, fennel seeds, rose petals, melon seeds, cardamom, saffron, milk and sugar. Mawa is milk solids and it gives a luscious taste to this dish at the same time making it luxurious.
My children really enjoy the Thandai flavours, hence I thought of using the same flavours and turning it into a cake. This cake is delicious, soft, and buttery. Traditionally, eggs are used in most cakes, but this cake is egg less. It is a one pot cake, where everything is mixed in one pot and baked. In India, Thandai powder or Thandai syrup are quite easily available in shops. However, I prefer to make it at home as it is a simple recipe and once you have the mixture ready you can make fresh Thandai anytime of the year.
Simple, indulgent and delicious! This cake is simply scrumptious!
