  • Eggless Gulkand Cupcake

  • Oil: 1/4 cup
  • Curd: 1/2 cup
  • Gulkand: 2 tbsp 
  • Kewra/Rose water: 1 tsp
  • Red food color: 2 drops

Procedure

  • In a mixing bowl, add all the wet ingredients and mix everything nicely.
  • In a separate bowl, add dry ingredients and make sure you sieve everything before adding. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
  • Add dry ingredients gradually over the wet ingredients and mix until everything combines. Don't over-mix the batter after adding dry ingredients to the wet; otherwise, it will lead to a dense cake.
  • Grease the katori/ mould with oil and dust it with flour or line cupcake moulds.
  • Preheat the oven for 10 mins at 170°C before baking. (Do this while preparing cake batter)
  • Bake the cupcakes at 170°C for 15-22mins
  • Decorate it with whipped cream, rose and white chocolate.
