Mawa cake

Mawa cake is a popular dessert originating from the Parsi community in India. It's a rich and delicious cake made with "mawa" or "khoya," which is milk that's been reduced to a thick, creamy consistency. This key ingredient gives the cake a dense, moist texture and a distinctive flavor.

The cake is often infused with cardamom or saffron, adding a unique and aromatic twist to its taste. Along with mawa, the cake typically has ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Mawa cake is often enjoyed with tea and is a favorite in many Parsi and Irani cafés, especially in cities like Mumbai.
