How to make Milk Cake

• Step 1. Simmer the milk until it reduces to one-third of its quantityMilk cake is undeniably one of the tastiest sweet delights that can be prepared at home very easily by following a few simple steps. Take a deep saucepan and bring the milk to a boil over a high flame. Then simmer until it is reduced to one-third of its quantity over medium flame. Make sure you stir the milk well in between as this will help prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom.
• Step 2. Let the milk turn grainyYou must have seen that milk cake is ideally grainy in texture. To prepare that grainy mixture, add lemon juice to the simmering milk. Eventually, you will notice that the milk will curdle separating the water. Now, stir the milk well and cook the mixture till it is light brown in colour and grainy in texture. Now, add sugar in the pan and stir well for some time. Cook the mixture until the mixture has a thick consistency. At this step, you will notice that it will release a nice fragrance and a light to dark brown colour. Turn off the flame and let it cool a little.
• Step 3. Let the Milk Cake set before cutting into squaresNow, finally set the milk cake. For the same, take a plate and grease it well using some ghee or clarified butter. This is done to prevent the milk cake from sticking to the bottom. Spread the mixture evenly in the plate and let it sit for 24 hours. Once it is set, use a hot knife to take them out and let it remain at room temperature for 15 minutes. Cut the Milk Cake into desired shapes and sizes and serve fresh. You can even store milk cake in an airtight container and serve as and when required. Milk cake has a shelf life of a minimum of 7 days.
