For Cake:

1. In a bowl, add 3 eggs and beat very well until frothy. This step is very important.

2. Add brown sugar, ghee, and beat well.

3. Add cocoa powder, baking powder,vanilla essence, and beat again.

4. Add the wheat flour and mix very well slowly in one direction using cut and fold method. Don't over mix.

5. Add the boiled warm milk and again mix slowly to form a smooth batter. Pour the batter in a cake tin greased with ghee.

6. In an Idli Pot with a stand preheated already for 10 mins in high flame, place the cake tin and bake in simmer for 30-35 mins.

7. Insert with a toothpick and if it comes clean, remove the cake tin and allow the cake to cool.

For Malai:

8. Mix the custard powder in 1/4 cup of raw milk without lumps.

9. Boil the remaining milk in a vessel, keep the flame in simmer, and add the brown sugar.

10. Pour the custard mixture now and keep on stirring without lumps.

11. When the back side of the ladle gets coated with the mixture, add the almonds and cashews, and switch off the stove. Allow it to cool.

For Malai Cake:

12. Poke the whole cake with a fork so that the Malai gets absorbed by the cake.

13. Pour some Malai throughout the cake and garnish with some nuts and reserve some Malai and nuts for serving.

14. After 2 mins, cut the cake into pieces, and pour Malai and garnish with nuts on each piece. Serve immediately. That's it!!

NOTE:

----------

1. I have skipped baking soda and increased eggs and beated airy instead. If you are using baking soda, use 1/2 tsp and reduce an egg.

2. If you are skipping eggs, use curd and add baking soda too.

3. You can also add the Custard Malai to the cake batter before baking, but it can reduce the chocolate flavour. So I skipped it.

4. You can also bake in a pressure cooker/microwave/otg. Click here to know how bake in a pressure cooker.
