Instant Milk Cake Recipe with step-by-step pictures- Milk cake was one of the first desserts I learned to make. This is a very simple recipe and requires minimum usage of flame and pan cooking. It is a dairy-based dessert made with paneer and nuts. There is no baking, mixing or batter making in this recipe, despite being a “cake” and is rather similar to Bengali Shondesh or Kalakand. Like the title suggests, you can really make it instantly.

Living in Kolkata, I have closely seen their ways of life, and when I visit a Bengali house, I always get a piece of “mishti” or some kind of sweet, with the water. It is the common Bengali etiquette, or ‘custom’ would be the ideal word. Items like milk cake can really come in handy if you too have this sweet custom in your house.

Paneer is one of the healthiest forms of cheese, so paneer based desserts can cater to a greater extent of people, including weight watchers, high cholesterol patients, and even diabetic patients. If you use Sugar-Free instead of plain sugar, it may be served to diabetic patients. As paneer has low fat and calories, and sugar content, it’s also rich in protein and calcium.
I often make paneer at home, but this time bought from the ordinary confectionary or “mistanna bhandaar” in my locality. I usually buy from there as this is actually organic paneer as they make it fresh every day, with fresh whole cream milk. There are no preservatives or artificial chemicals in this paneer, unlike the packaged paneer.
You can store in an airtight container for up to 10 days. And it will not grow stale or anything. I would personally recommend a less amount of sugar, but it’s actually up to your taste. You may use jaggery too, but then the taste will slightly change.
So make this delightful sweet with ease and enjoy wholeheartedly.
