    Parsi Mawa Cake BM# 81: Week 2/ Day 1
    Theme: Diwali Savories & Sweets
    Dish: Eggless Mawa Cupcakes

    I am so glad that I am back to blogging with my beloved Blogging Marathon group this month. My theme for this week is 'Diwali Savories and Sweets'. Since I am coming back after 3 months, I made a sweet dish for the comeback. I have rich and decadent Eggless Mawa cupcakes that are perfect to make for Diwali.Parsi Mawa CakeI missed blogging all this summer due to our move to North Carolina. We are finally in our new home and the kids started school in the new town. It has been just over a week now and we are slowly settling down into the new routine.

    Recipe for this eggless mawa cake is from Veg Recipes of India. I actually made this mawa cake for my son's birthday back in NJ but couldn't take any decent pictures. I made it again in our new home and so this will be the first dessert/ sweet made here. I also found a decent corner to click photos -- will see how well spot will work out in the future.

    These mawa cupcakes are rich with the addition of mawa, whole milk and heavy cream. Mawa cakes are popular items in Parsi bakeries but they are quite easy to make at home too. The main ingredient is Mawa/ Khoya -- you can choose to either make it at home or use store bought. I used Nanak brand khoya and it worked great. If you have frozen mawa, make sure you thaw it in the refrigerator or on the counter before using.

    Parsi Mawa CakeAdd some nuts or tutti frutti to make these cupcakes extra special. I saw a recipe video where the chef served mawa cake with sweetened milk sauce. I can imagine how delicious that combination would be. Give these cupcakes a try this festival season and I'm sure your friends and family would love them.

      Welcome back Pavani and glad you have found a decent place to click gorgeous pictures ! These mawa cakes are simply out of the world. I baked mawa cake from Gayathri's space and we loved it to crumbs (pun intended).
