I made this cake for the birthday of my daughter’s friend. Nowadays all her friends demand cake from my kitchen as a birthday gift.

I feel happy to bake for her friends ..she describes the choice of her friends. This time she said, her friend loves ladoo, hence I made this fusion cake …

everyone liked and appreciate it. This laddo cake idea was super hit in her party.

For this recipe, I used my fav eggless malai vanilla cake idea.I replaced vanilla with rose and cardamom powder.

I got this idea from my facebook group.Thanks, Deeksha Pathak ji for this wonderful idea.

Take out the cake from the fridge, cut the layers, soak with sugar syrup and cardamom powder and cream with sprinkle crushed boondi laddoo.
Do crumb coat for the whole cake and again on the sides of the cake apply boondi.
On top, in the middle put some ladoos and make whipping cream roses all around. Or you can go with your choice of decoration.
