Birthdays are always fun. We have more food, cake, friends, family and lots of happiness. Covid has given us a lot of home time and this year for my daughter's birthday I utilized the time I had in hand.

Yes, I came out of my comfort zone and baked my daughter's birthday cake. I have been baking for almost 6 years now. I always try naked caked but never frosted and made a party cake. This is the first time.

My parents insisted I bake a cake for my daughter's cake. That is when the idea of making the party cake sparked. Also, I too got a why not though. I have made enough cakes, high time I bake a frosted party cake.

When I was thinking about the cakes, the Rasgulla cake was in my mind for quite some time now. So I picked it and developed the flavors based on the availability of the ingredients I had in hand.

Also, I recite, now it self. The cake may not be perfect, but it's the taste and mother's, love. I wanted to document my first attempt here. Now lets get started.

What is Rasgulla

Rasgulla or Rosogolla is a Bengali dessert made with the chenna from curdling the milk. It is spongy, fluffy, and a sugary delight.

Rasgulla is a popular Bengali Milk sweet which is predominantly consumed over the Asian countries. It is prepared from Chenna (Cottage Cheese) and cooked in sugar syrup.

The name Rasgulla is from the Bengali Word Rosogolla or Roshogolla where ‘Ras’ means juice and ‘gulla’ means ball. Rasgulla tastes best when served chilled.

I already have a detailed post on the blog about how to prepare Rasgulla. you can check it out for more tips, tricks to prepare the perfect homemade rasgulla.

How to prepare Rasgulla Cake

Rasgulla Cake is prepared with Vanilla Sponge cake as the base. I have flavored the Ras from the rasgulla with Saffron, Rose Syrup, and Cardamom. For the final makeover, I have layered the vanilla sponge cake. Between the cake, I have used the ras from rasgulla and then whipped cream frosting.

Once again the entire cake is cover with whipped cream. I keep the decorations as simple as possible. Decorated the cake with Crushed Almonds, pistachios, and dried cranberry.

So totally the entire process is done in 3 steps

Frost the cake and decorate

Prep Work for Rasgulla Cake

Bake the Sponge cakes the previous day and keep it ready.
You will need 2 layers of sponge cake.

If using a tetra pack. Keep it in the freezer.
Just 24 hours before you are about to frost keep it in the refrigerator section.
See the package instructions for more details.
Many brands are available these days.
Check the ingredients if it has sugar or not. If needed add icing sugar only. The cream which I used has sugar already so I dint add and it was perfect for me
Keep the Ice cubes ready, So the whipped cream has to be whipped at a 2 Deg C also work on an AC Room for best results.

Saffron

The flavor I had in mind was Rose Cardamom and Saffron, So I went ahead and added them in the Juice of the Rasgulla. The flavors were subtle but perfect for the cake.

Rose Water

If you like rose flavor, this definitely is not to be skipped. It is just perfect when added with rose and cardamom.

Whipped Cream

I used store-bought tetra pack Whipping Cream. I then whipped them till stiff peaks and then frosted the cake. You can also use butter cream or any frosting as you prefer.

Almonds & Pistachios

Instead of edible decorations like sprinkles and sugars. I went with the almonds and Pistachios for decorating the cake. Since I baked for the kids I was particular about the decorations. Almonds and pistachios complimented very well when added to the whipped cream cake.

Dry Fruits

I wanted to add rose petals too for decorating the cake but I was out of stock. So went ahead and added dried cranberries.

How to bake Sponge Cake

Sponge cake is the basis for many cakes. While frosting the cakes also the first thing we look for a sponge cake. Sponge cake is very light and soft and airy. I baked two sponge cakes of uniform thickness. Slice the top doom part if any and make them of equal size.

Sponge cake usually has butter, Eggs, Sugar, and Flour as the base. The Eggless version is also available in the blog. If you make the sponge cakes ahead. Wrap it well and free them. Thaw it before you use it.

Almond Butter

Nut butter is the main binding agent in the cookies. I am using Almond Butter. In place of Almond butter, we can use any Nut Butter like Peanut Butter or Cashew Butter.

What is Gluten

Gluten is a type of protein that is commonly found in grains. Usually seen in Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats. Gluten causes few medical conditions or allergies like Nausea, Sneezing, Skin Rash. Which is which gluten-free foods are popular these days and many tend to choose grains that are gluten-free.

Rice, Buckwheat, Corn, Flax Seeds are very popular gluten gree grain. Whereas Wheat is the main source of gluten.

Gluten-Free Cakes

Gluten-free cakes are like normal cakes the only difference will be the flour used. It doesn't have the glutens. Gluten is an important protein, especially in cakes. It gives the structure and texture of the cakes. Thus baking a cake without gluten is like a task.

Cakes without gluten might crumble easily, may be dry or even texture will be dense. Yet these days we have so many alternatives to the above issues.

These days gluten-free all-purpose flour or other flours are available on the market. In this recipe, I went with the gluten-free Nut Flour. Almond Flour works well in cakes.

Almond Flour Cake

Usually, we use any flour to bake a cake, but in Almond Flour cake we use nut powder. It is just an Almond meal or Almond powder that does the magic. The texture is super soft and like the flour cake. I found no compromise in the taste and the texture.

How to Prepare Almond Flour.

Blanch the Almond. Soak the Almonds in hot water for 4 hours and remove the skin. Let it dry completely and then grind it to a fine powder. Make sure you grind the Almonds in batches. Blending the Almonds might cause them to release the natural oil and hence pulse it or grind in batches.

After powdering the almonds sift it to remove the harder particles and grind them once again. Almond flour is ready. Indeed homemade Almond flour is fresh and cheap.

FAQ on Gluten-Free Cakes & Almond Flour Cakes

Can I use almond powder instead of almond flour?

A big yes. Make sure you grind it finely and sieve the Almond powder. So there is no big difference.

Is almond flour good for baking cakes?

These days many follow the Paleo diet and this Almond flour is a great option in that case. Normal flour is high in carbs and low in fat. But Almond flour is low in carbs and high in healthy fat and fiber. Almond flour is definitely a great replacement for normal flour.

What is the best substitute for Almond Flour

The best gluten-free replacement for Almond flour will be coconut flour.

Does almond flour taste the same as regular flour?

The texture of the flour will be similar. But the Almond flour has a strong nutty and Almond flavor compared to cakes with gluten flours. Indeed it tastes good in Cakes and Cookies.

Ingredients for Almond Flour Cake

Almond Flour or Almond Meal

You can use the Store-bought Almond flour or Almond meal. In case you are not able to source it you can make your own at the home. Use good quality, Almond.

Clarified Butter or Ghee

You can use either Melted butter or Ghee. Both work well.

Egg

Since it is a gluten-free cake Egg is necessary for the binding. Not sure about the eggless version. Will try and update here on how it works.

Brown Sugar

You can use any sweeteners of your choice. I used Brown sugar for the golden color. But we can also use Refined white sugar or Cane Sugar.

Chocolate Chips

The sweetness is on the lighter side and hence I use more Chocolate Chips. You can definitely play with the quantity of chocolate chips used. Use good quality choco chips.

Ladoo is like a National Favourite sweet.Ladoo is an Indian dessert with few ingredients. It is made using any nuts or flour, along with sweetener and a fat holding substance and rolled as a ball.

There are so many ladoo varieties out there in India and the most popular one is the Boondi Ladoo. Mothichoor Ladoos are also equally popular. Both Both Boondi and Mothichoor Ladoos have similar preparation. The major difference is the size of the boondi.

Mootichoor Ladoo has a tiny boondi and is usually orange colored. Boondi Ladoo has medium-sized boondi and is usually yellow in color.

In this recipe, I have used Lemon Yellow food color, you can skip it if you do not prefer or Use organic food colors or even a little Turmeric powder is also Fine.

Ladoo is mostly made during Diwali or for Weddings. It is the most popular Indian Festival mithai.

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

What is Boondi

Boondi is an Indian Dessert made from deep frying a batter prepared with chickpea flour using special perforated Ladles. The prepared boondis are then sweetened using a sugar syrup.

The boondi batter consistency is very much essentials to get the perfect round boondi with a tail. Also, there are many tips & tricks to get boondi the right way.

I have spoken a lot on Boondi, in My Sweet Boondi post. Please take a look at the post for more details.

Boondi Ladoo

Sweet Boodi is the base for Boondi Ladoo. Fried boondis are then dunken in Sugar syrup with two string consistency. we add the ghee fried nuts along with edible camphor. Finally, we shape the Ladoo by combining everything together.

Tips for boondi ladoo

Never Allow the boondis to cool down completely. Shape the Ladoo as soon as the sugar mixture is warm enough to handle.
If the boondis cool down completely you may not be able to shape the Ladoo.
Usually in the Ladoo served in Weddings has a unique flavor, it is from the edible camphor and ghee fried clove. So do not skip that part.
The sugar syrup consistency is very important in Ladoo holding the shape.
I usually go for 2 string consistency, But 1 string consistency will also work well.
After the one string consistency, the two string consistency will be achieved in the next 2 or 3 mins.
You can add little lemon juice to the sugar syrup to prevent the Sugar from crystallization.
If the Ladoo is not holding the shape, you can heat the boondis once again by adding little ghee or warm water. And then start shaping the Ladoo once again.

Ingredients for boondi ladoo

Besan Flour or Chickpea Flour

Besan Flour or Gram flour is prepared from ground chickpeas. It is very common in India for preparing sweets and Savouries. It is the base for boondi ladoo.

Cooking Soda

Cooking Soda otherwise called Sodium bi Carbonate gives crisp boondis. If you don't prefer you can skip it and add 1 tablespoon of Rice Flour.

Refined White Sugar

white sugar is the most important ingredient as it holds the shape of the ladoo. Cook the sugar syrup till 2 string consistency and then making perfect ladoos is a breeze.

Cashew Nuts & Raisins:

Ghee fried cashew nuts and raisins give a nice flavor to ladoos.

Cloves & Edible Camphor

Adding both cloves and Edible Camphor give a nice and unique flavor and aroma to the ladoos, so I suggest not to skip it. But if you are not able to source edible camphor you can skip it.

How to make Boondi Ladoo

November 11, 2020 By Sharmila Kingsly 6 Comments

Ring Murukku is a delicious and easy snack. It is made of Rice flour, besan flour, and spices. It is usually made during Diwali.

Muruku is a popular festival snack that is very popular in the Southern States of India. Any festival without a Muruku is incomplete. Muruku is usually made using a muruku press or murukku achu . For few muruku varieties like Kari Muruku and all we do not needcno muruku achu.

It is one famous tea time snack in the Southern States. Almost in all the tea shops we can See Muruku, Butter Biscuit and Bun. It is the best snack to go with Tea.

Traditionally it is deep-fried. But these days we do get baked and air fried versions of Murku as well. Usually, we prepare murukku with Rice flour or Urad Dal Flour along with other spices.

Even Besan Flour , Maida murku also comes these days. Butter muruku is one popular version of muruku.

What is Murukku:

Murukku is a deep-fried festival snack. Murku gets its name from the shape (according to Wiki ) Murku in Tamil means twisted. Muruku appears with twists and twirls. And hence the name

Ring Murukku

Ring Murukku is an easy murukku prepared without a murukku press. We roll the murukku like a ring to get its shape and hence the name. It mainly uses Rice flour along with species. This ring murukku is a Tamil Nadu Style Recipe. We also have similar types in Andhra and Karnataka Cusine as well.

Chegodilu is the Andhra Version and Kodubele is the Karnataka version. Just that both resembles a ring shape have similarities in name. But the taste and appearance differ.

Andhra Chegodilu or Andhra Pindivanta

Chegodilu has a more spicy flavor. The color is also slightly deep. It uses only Rice flour and Moong Dal along with spices.

Karanataka Kodubele

Kodubele uses Semolina, All-purpose Flour along with a totally different spice paste. It has coconut, Cumin along chili powder. It is a famous recipe in Karnataka.

How to prepare Rice Flour for Murukku

Always use Raw Rice for Murukku. We should not use Roasted rice flour or Puttu Flour. You can use raw rice. Soak the raw Rice in Water for about 2 hours. After 2 hours , drain the excess water and spread the soaked rice in a kitchen towel or muslin cloth to dry. Let it dry completely.Once its dry grind the rice to a fine powder in a blender. Sieve the ground rice for the rice flour. If there is any hard grains grind them once again . Repeat this process for all the rice.

Tips & Tricks for perfect Murku:

As a rule of thumb never allow the dough to get a try. close it with a kitchen towel.
If you are making the murukku in one go, cover it and keep, Never allow it to dry.
As a best practice, you can also roll the murukku, when one batch is frying.
Fry in a medium-low flame on both sides for a crispy murukku.
If the dough is thick the murukku will be hard. It will also drink more oil.
If the dough is thick, Add little hot water and knead the dough again.
the dough is thin and loose the murukku will break when you deep fry. So adjust and get perfect soft dough for crispy murukku,
If the dough is thin, Add little Rice flour and bring it back to the soft dough.

Ring Murukku FAQ

Why did Murukku break?

If the dough has more water. The murku will not hold shape, It might break while cooking. Always seal the edges of the murukku properly while shaping. Otherwise, it might open and disintegrate.

Why is Murukku hard?

This is because the dough is not kneaded well with adequate water.
If the dough is dry , Water is very less in the dough . In that case muruku might will be very hard.

Why is Murukku not soft

The murkuu texture is crispy. If it is soft the murku is under cooked. Alwasy cook the murku in a medium flame. So that it gets cooked equally on all the sides and inside. If cooked in high flame , the murukku will be crispy outside but will not under cooked inside and soft.

How long Can we Store Ring Murku

Murukku Stays good for upto a week. But it is best to finish it off as soon as possible.

Will Oil splutter while making Murukku

Always make sure the murukku dough has some pores to breathe, Which is why we add cumin and sesame seeds. If the dough very soft and fully covered The Oil might splutter while frying. Which is dangerous. Also never allow the dough to get dry. Shape the Murukku just before frying.

Ingredients for Ring Murukku:

Rice Flour

Rice Flour is the principal ingredient in the murukku. Use good quality raw Rice flour. I used the store-bought one. I have mentioned above how to prepare Rice flour for Murukku.

Besan Flour:

Besan Flour gives a nice golden color to the Muruku and also gives a nice flavor. We can also skip it, if you do not prefer

Moong Dal

We add moong Dal for the crispiness of the murkku. You can also skip it. Adding moong dal gives a crispy murukku. Cook the moong dal well, Mash it and then add it to the dough.

Other Spices :

Along with the flour, we add sesame seeds, Cumin seeds, Salt, Butter, Hing, and Chilli powder for a soft and perfect murukku.

Cooking Oil

Cooking oil plays a major role in murukku as the end product is finally deep-fried. I usually use cold-pressed peanut oil for deep frying. You can use any cooking oil as per your preference.

5) Be quick in adding the Rice flour. Keep mixing as you add the rice flour in batches. combine everything together.

6) Next add in 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. I added white sesame seeds, You can also add the black one, it gives a beautiful color to the murukku.

How to Roll the Ring Murukku

11 ) Just before frying the Muruku. Pinch in a small part of the dough. Flatten and roll between the hands like a cylinder.

12 ) Roll the dough and seal the edges. You can also roll it around the finger and seal the edges. Rolling around the finger gives equal-sized murukku and it is easy as well to roll. I prefer this method of rolling around the finger for RingMurukku.

13) Never Allow the rolled murukku dough to get dry. Roll before you fry them oil. Allow dough to dry might result in oil spluttering, so be cautious on that part.

Frying the Ring Murukku

This means the burfi mixture is undercooked. Go ahead and cook until the mixture gets slightly thick and ghee oozes out. You can check by rolling a small portion . If it rolls easily and firm , we can set the burfi.

Why is my Barfi Chewy

It means the barfi is over cooked. Cooking for a longer time gives a chewy barfi. The best tip to avoid this will be to cook on a very low flame so that the exact consistency is not missed. Also, use a sturdy heavy-bottomed pan. If you are a beginner in cooking go for a nonstick pan.
