A very light and moist cake which is made out of Semolina (Rava), yoghurt, milk and oil. This cake doesn’t contain gulab jamun but tastes a lot like it in a cake form, that’s why the name. The cake is served warm with rose water scented sugar syrup.

I have never been this excited to share a recipe with you all. This Gulab Jamun cake is such a good one, that you would want to make it over and over again. It is a very simple recipe too. I love cake recipes where you just have to mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, pour into baking tray and bake.

The texture of this cake is a little different. It is a little like basbousa because of the semolina, but also tastes like coconut cake for some reason. Since this cake is soaked in sugar syrup, it resembles Gulab Jamun a lot. Some of you might think that this doesn’t taste like gulab jamun at all, but even then I’m sure you’ll love this cake as much. It is delicious. The entire credit for this recipe goes to “The Pink Kettle”.
