Although this is a very technical Dessert but the outcome is quite amazing.I have put the recipe of the Ras Malai and the Cake. You may use this recipe to prepare only the Ras Malai or your can prepare the complete Cake.If you aim to create the cake, I would suggest that you prepare the cake a day before and frost it the next day so that your cake has soaked in the flavours of the Ras Malai and also it will be easier to frost and garnish it the next day.
