Eggless Gulab Jamun Mix Cake / Juicy and Moist Video Recipe

Eggless Gulab Jamun Cake

Diwali is round the corner and you might be getting lots of gulab jamun mix packs from super markets as gifts. The super market where I visit, always gives out one or two packs of gulab jamun mix as gift for every purchase. this goes on for a month and we get lots of these packs. I usually don’t make gulab jamun with mix, so it would go waste every time. Last year, I made this cake in form of squares and added it in the sweet box we gifted to others. But I didn’t make a video for that. This year, I could make a video, so wanted to share with you all.

The cake is definitely not a cake, because it is not spongy in texture. It is like a gulab jamun in cake form. And there is no deep frying involved. This could be the easiest gulab jamun you can make and it looks fantastic. The mix is combined with maida, sugar and baking powder, made into a batter and baked as a cake. Then it is drizzled with sugar syrup which it readily absorbs. And served with more syrup. This tastes amazing the day it is made. If you are serving the next day, store it in an airtight box and soaked in syrup. That way it will retain its softness.

You can bake it in a square tin or as individual cupcakes. However you bake it, don’t forget to add syrup, because it is what makes the difference. This also makes an amazing Diwali sweet with wonderful Indian flavours. When the cake is in oven, the house was definitely filled with an amazing aroma, which brought Diwali earlier to our house.
