EGGLESS MAWA CUPCAKES

These eggless mawa cupcakes were rich, soft and moist and really delectable in each bite. Mawa cakes have been a menu staple in Irani cafes at Mumbai and Pune but they are quite easy to make at home too. My daughter is very fond of plain mawa/ khoya so I used to make different snacks using mawa. This time I tried making these decadent mawa cupcakes for my daughter.   The main ingredient is mawa/ khoya. You can make it at home or use store brought mawa for this recipe. Here I added all purpose flour but you can use whole wheat flour or both flours in a 50-50 ratio. Give these cupcakes a try this festival season and I am sure your family and friends would love them.
