To make this eggless ,replace 2 eggs with 1/2 cup yogurt mixed with 1/2 tsp baking soda.keep aside for 10 minutes .then add the mixed yogurt to the cake batter and mix well.

Mava cake looks awesome, never tried cake with mava and it sounds interesting must be very very tasty!
Hi Gloria can I use cashew nuts instead of pista....because I don't have pista and even pista essence....please help...or can I just make it plain without any nuts..
Yes you can use cashews.. Or make it plain too..pista essence is optional use vanilla instead

Hi ,
No I will be posting it soon ..
You can try this cake till then it's pretty similar with a very nice texture ..
Hi Gloria,
The cake looks yummm...
I have a concern that Mawa might not be available in my place, is there any substitute for that?
Sry I know the main ingredient here is Mawa, but an alternate would be helpful as well.
Thanks
Hi dear,
Thanks so much for your kind words.1/3
You can try making instant mava by mixing 1 cup milk powder 1/3 cup cream,mix it like dough and steam for10-15 minutes there are other instant methods as well,this is the easiest ..
