Cheat Sweets - Coffee Milk Cake Box

The Milk Cake is a mithai that is easily everyone’s favourite. We all have eaten it in some shape or the other. Whether it's in the form of a fudgy burfi up North or in Rajasthan or in the slightly loose format down south called ‘theratti paal’ it’s flavour that is so deeply etched in our palates growing up. The way the Milk Cake is made is as literal as its name, but not as simple. High fat milk is cooked to one third of its quantity. Once the milk is added, the halwai either ads fitkari (alum) or citric acid to split the milk after which sugar is added. Instead of refined sugar, we are adding equal parts of jaggery and coconut sugar. This is introduced right at the start so that the mixture comes together homogenously. Our no refined sugar Milk Cake is flavoured with coffee, perfect for that coffee pick me up you need during the day!
