Question 1

1. What is the difference between mawa cake and pound cake?

Accepted Answer

Mawa cake is a Parsi recipe, where a khoya-based batter is fragrant with cardamom powder and baked in a pan till perfection. Pound cake, on the other hand, is a Western preparation that completely relies on creaming butter and sugar to make a batter that doesn't split, resulting in a tight-crumbed cake.

The mawa cake stays fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. Also, the refrigerated mawa cake can last for up to a week.

Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta is the best flour for mawa cake. This flour has an earthier and nuttier taste that pairs with cardamom even better than refined flour.

Prepare a cake batter with butter, cardamom powder, sugar, flour and milk. Replace the egg with some amount of curd, baking soda and baking powder to achieve the same soft and spongy texture.
