Preparing the Cake Tin

- Use a few drops of oil or ghee to grease the sides.
Infusing the Milk
- Warm 1 cup of milk. Do not boil, just warm it.

- Mix well and let the flavours infuse into the milk for 10 minutes.
Other Prep
- Powder 3/4 cup of granulated sugar.
Making the Gulab Jamun Cake Mix Cake
- Mix together 3/4 cup of APF (maida), 3/4 cup of Gulab Jamun Mix, the powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp baking soda.
- Add 1/4 cup flavourless cooking oil to the milk and whisk well.
- Add the oil + milk mix to the dry ingredients and mix with a gentle hand till you have a runny batter. Be sure to scrape the bottom as the Gulab Jamun mix tends settle at the bottom and form pockets of dry mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepped baking tin.
- Bake at 150C for 30 to 40 minutes.
- When the Gulab Jamun Mix Cake is baked, immediately take it out of the oven and let it cool. Use a tooth pick or a paring knife to check that the cake is cooked through.
- Using a sharp knife, loosen the sides of the cake from the tin and then gently overturn the tin. Tap the bottom of the tin a few times, if needed.
- Cut into 8 slices and store in an air-tight tin. The cake preserves well at room temperature.
- Enjoy with a hot cup of tea!
