Ingredients
150 gm all purpose flour/Maida
100 gm butter
1 tsp baking powder*
150 gm mawa
200 gm powdered sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom powder**
1/4 tsp vanilla essence optional***
3 tbsp milk
2 eggs

Method

• Sift flour and baking powder and set aside
• Preheat oven at 180 degree Celsius
• Line 10 muffin moulds with cupcakes Liners

• In a bowl combine butter and sugar and beat till fluffy
• Add in the crumbled mawa and continue to beat
• Add eggs one at a time and beat till all well combined
• Now add the other egg ,cardamom powder,vanilla if using and mix well

• Add milk and beat
• Fold in the sifted flour and mix well.
• I have used the beater on lowest speed to mix the batter .
• Scoop the batter in cupcake liners just till 3/4 th full

• Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degree Celsius till tooth pick instead comes out clean.
• Allow it cool completely.

I had no patience so had one just when it was out of the oven ..it was simply awesome..😉😉😋

I baked 6 cupcakes in cupcake liners and 4 in the bake and serve which requires a little more batter ,you may get around 10 to 12 cupcakes depending on the size of the cupcake /muffin pan you use .

Notes 

I have used unsweetened mawa /khoya. 

If you don't find mawa at hand make.instant mawa by mixing milk powder ghee and cream. 

These stay well for 3 days of kept in air tight container if it remains 😁😂They are super addictive and are wiped  out the day i bake them.

feel free to add cashews or any other nuts. 

Since I am in love with vanilla I added 1/4tsp you can skip and onky add cardamom powder alone. 

The parsi mawa cakes are little bit on a denser side ,we prefer fluffy cuppies hence added 1 tsp ,you can add only 1/2 tsp baking powder if you wish .
