Making of Cashew cake - Preparation time approximately 45 to 1 hr.
Hope you all celebrated Deepavali well. This time i made few more sweets along with Gulab jamun & Pooran boli which already exist in this blog. I am sharing the cashew cake recipe below.
Regularly i will make cashew cake but this time it became a big adventure for me. When i made and transferred to greased plate it didn't come as cake so again i transferred to pan and boiled again to get the correct texture. Finally it came out well and made cashew cakes.
Ingredients:-
Cashew paste - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 1/4 cup
Preparation method:-
Soak cashew in water (i tried with hot water this time but, you can use normal water also) for 2 hrs.
Grind soaked cashew in blender to coarse paste (before fine paste state).
In a heavy bottom pan, add sugar, water & mix well when it is dissolved, start boiling till you get one string consistency (you stick the pagu between two finger and take the fingers one small string will appear.
At this stage add the cashew paste to the pagu (if you want you can switch of the stove, mix well and then boil again)
You have to keep on stirring the mixture till it leaves the side. Add the ghee slowly when the whole texture becomes fluffy (will be white and bubbling ,will start to come up).
Coat ghee in a plate and transfer the cashew mixture. When it is cool you cut using ghee greased knife. It will be good.
It will come fine even you are not able to make cake don't worry you can serve as cashew halwa. You will be able to make only if it is transferred in correct texture. If you don't take in correct state it will become to powder state.
Try it out surely you will like this sweet. If you are trying for first time try in very little quantity.
