Gulab Jamun Cake Recipe
Cardamom and Saffron Cake Ingredients:
100ml warm milk
2 pinches of saffron threads
150g butter at room temperature
100g caster sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
200g self-raising flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp crushed cardamom
Whipped Cream Frosting Ingredients:
300ml double cream
1 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Gulab jamun syrup
12 gulab jamun (4 cut in half)
Dried rose petals for decoration
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160 fan/gas 4. Grease a 6 inch baking tin and line with grease proof paper.
2. Combine the warm milk and saffron threads and leave to infuse.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale. Then beat in the eggs a little at a time until combined.
4. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and cardamom.
5. Add in the infused milk and dry ingredients into the butter mixture in alternating batches until combined.
6. Pour the mixture into the baking tin, level the mixture out and bake for 20 minutes. When the cake is baked, run a knife around the edge of the tin to release the cake. Flip onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely. Then trim the top and cut in half horizontally to create 2 cake layers.
8. For the cream, add the cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract to a large bowl and whip until very soft peaks form.
9. Place the first cake layer onto a plate and apply some gulab jamun syrup. Spread a thin layer of cream on top using a spatula, and place 8 gulab jamun halves on top around the edge of the cake.
10. Add more cream on top, level it out and add more cream in between the gulab jamun to fill in the gaps.
11. Then, place the second cake layer on top and apply more syrup. Crumb coat the cake then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
12. Apply a thicker layer of cream all around the cake and smooth it out. Put the remaining cream into a piping bag fitted with a piping tip and pipe cream around the top of the cake. Then place 8 gulab jamun on top of the piping. You can also pipe a border around the bottom of the cake. Finish by decorating with dried rose petals.
*This cake must be kept refrigerated.
