Seven Cups Cake (7 Cups Cake), a traditional Diwali Sweet, very delicious tempting sweet!. As the name indicates we are going to take 7 equal quantities of the below ingredients and we are going to make a tasty Seven Cups Cake. Very easy to make in less time and a very good dish for Diwali and other festivals.
Some of us think, its like a sponge cake with 7 layers. But its not a cake that we bake. Its a burfi variety. Most of us make Badam burfi, coconut burfi, Mysorepak and many more burfi varieties. Instead of one single flavor, this 7 cups cake has the flavor of besan, milk, ghee, sugarand also coconut. The combination of all of these makes this Seven Cups Cake much more delicious and appetizing.
Especially when we are planning to share our homemade sweets with our friends and relatives, we need to make more quantities and this is one of the dish which gives more pieces of cake and also simple to make. Some sweets like rasgulla, jangri are little complex and also sticky. So we all look for some hassle free and simple dish and 7 Cups Cake is the perfect dish. The ingredients used in this dish are all simple and easily available in our kitchen. I always prefer to make this yummy cake and distribute to my friends and relatives. Lets see how to make this yummy cake!

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Gram Flour (Besan / Chickpea Flour)
  • 1 Cup Ghee (Clarified butter)
  • 1 Cup Grated Coconut
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 3 Cups Sugar

Instructions 

  • Take a plate and grease the plate with ghee and keep it aside. Fry the Gram Flour with a teaspoon of ghee. Stop the frying when you get a nice aroma (may be for 2-3 mins) . Don’t let the color of the Gram Flour change. Switch off the flame. To the fried gram flour, add coconut
  • Add the sugar to the pan. Add a cup of milk and mix all the above ingredients in a pan
  • Finally add the cup of ghee and mix well. Heat the pan and stir the ingredients continuously by keeping the flame medium to low.  Keep stirring it.
  • In about 10 – 15 minutes, when the cake starts to leave the sides of the pan without sticking, then that is the right stage to remove the cake from the flame. There will be a formation of forth on the cake mixture and at the same time the cake starts leaving the sides of the pan without sticking. Note – This is the right consistency when you need to switch off the flame and transfer the content into the greased plate. Otherwise, the mixture will break into small tiny pieces. Pour the cake mixture into the greasy plate. Level the cake in the greasy plate using a flat spatula so that it is evenly spreaded. Leave the cake mixture to cool off in the plate. Now using a knife gently put vertical lines. Again cut the cake diagonally so that we get diamond shape cake pieces. Remove the diamond shaped seven cup cakes gently and store it in a air tight container
  • The mouth-watering seven cups cake is ready to serve

Notes

  1. The consistency with which we pour the burfi mixture is very crucial for any burfi. Few seconds earlier makes the burfi sticky. Few seconds make it hard or crumble. 
  2. If the burfi gets crumbled, heat up the mixture again, sprinkle little milk and cook again to get right consistency.
