RASMALAI CAKE FOR DIWALI

Rasmalai-Cake is a fusion of a very popular Bengali dessert, Rasmalai. Rasmalai is cottage cheese balls soaked in malai (thickened milk). It's a transformation of Rasogolla to an enhanced form. Though Rasogolla has its own popularity, ras malai has taken it to the next level. Rasmalai itself is one of my favorite desserts. Wanted to make some Diwali sweets that are quick and easy, so chose to make Rasmalai cake instead of Rasmalai itself as it's quick and easy.
