EGGLESS GULAB JAMUN CAKE MADE WITH MIX
Gulab Jamun
Gulab Jamun is an iconic Indian sweet. No matter wherever you are in the world, even if you have not explored Indian cuisine, I can guarantee that you will have come across gulab jamun! They are often served at Indian parties and are a must on Indian restaurant menus. Gulab Jamun are ping-pong-sized balls made from milk powder and flour. They are then deep-fried until they caramelize to a deep brown before dunked in aromatic rose sugar syrup. The result is soft and spongy gulab jamuns filled with sugar syrup. Each mouthful is intensely sweet yet oh-so satisfying. Gulab Jamuns can be eaten hot, (and sometimes served with ice cream) or at room temperature. Within the same family, Kala Jamun are very similar, yet made with paneer. For something a little bit unique, we loved creating our Chocolate and Peanut Butter Kala Jamun
How to make a cake from Gulab Jamun Mix
The beauty of this recipe is that it is made so easy by using a ready-made packet of Gulab Jamun mix. Ready-made gulab jamun mix is so easy to find in most supermarkets and will contain the flavours necessary for this recipe. We are not actually making gulab jamuns for this recipe but adding the gulab jamun mix to the batter so that the cake is infused with the wonderful gulab jamun flavours. This cake remains true to the original Gulab Jamun – if you close your eyes you’d almost be mistaken to believe that they are the same thing! Pouring over the sugar syrup keeps the cake super moist and reflects the texture of gulab jamun.
