milk cake recipe | milk cake kalakand sweet recipe | milk cake mithai with step by step photo and video recipe. this exotic milk based sweet is also known as kalakand which was traditionally originated from rajasthan. popularly milk cake recipe is prepared during holi, eid, diwali and navaratri festival, but certainly can be prepared without any occasions and served as dessert.

i have already shared the instant kalakand recipe which has similar characteristics to milk cake recipe. in instant kalakand, i used homemade paneer and mixed with condensed milk to achieve the thick cake like consistency. well it is a cheat or instant version, however in this recipe i have shown how the milk solids are prepared traditionally by evaporating the moisture from milk. it can be time consuming and monotonous, but certainly the end result would definitely make you happy.

furthermore some important tips and suggestions for a perfect soft and moist milk cake kalakand sweet recipe. firstly, i have used full cream cows milk for this recipe and i would heavily recommend to use the same. basically full cream milk would yield more milks solids as compared to the skim milk. secondly, add the lime juice or vinegar only after milk has been reduced to one third. otherwise if added early it would turn to paneer with excess water. lastly, once the milk solids are formed, pour them into a steel or aluminium container. this would help to retain the heat and achieve the proper texture and colour to milk cake.

finally i would request you to check my other indian sweet recipes collection from my blog. this includes, rasgulla, rasmalai, gulab jamun, kala jamun, malpua, chumchum, besan ladoo, coconut burfi and instant jalebi recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection board like,
