Eggless Thandai Cake recipe | Holi special Eggless Thandai Cake with step wise pictorial and video method.

Firstly lets know about Thandai. Made with a blend of nuts, seeds and aromatic spices like fennel, cardamom, saffron and rose with milk, Thandai is a traditional Indian spiced beverage made and commonly enjoyed during festivals like Holi and Mahashivratri.

To make the said drink, you need to make a powder first, which is called Thandai Masala powder and then this powder is mixed with milk to make the drink.

The present recipe is the fusion dessert combining the rich, aromatic flavors of traditional thandai with a soft, spiced cake.

The flavours and colours in this cake are purely symbolic to Holi and festive celebrations having unique fragrance and taste in every bite.

This cake is from last year and was made immediately after Holi because we had some thandai masala powder in leftover. Besides this cake, we also made a kulfi from leftover thandai.

Couldn’t share it then because there was no occasion for the same and now thanks to Holi, the post is live now.

This cake is eggless, so perfect for vegetarians and those with egg allergies.

So go, make it and enjoy.
