Ingredients

3/4 cup Gulab Jamun Mix I used Gits Gulab Jamun Mix,
3/4 cup All Purpose Flour/Maida
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/4 cup any odorless oil I used canola
1/2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cardamom powder/elaichi powder
8-10 strands of saffron/kesar crushed by hand

Instructions

Grease and flour a 7" round baking pan. Put parchment/wax paper at bottom of pan for easy release.
Preheat oven to 350F
Sieve Gulab Jamun Mix,flour,sugar,baking soda and baking powder
Add vanilla, cardamom powder and crushed saffron strands
Whisk milk and oil
Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet ones(Do not use whisk or beater)
Use spatula to break any lumps or solids and make smooth batter, being careful not to over mix
Pour batter in prepared pan. Tap on the counter a couple of times to remove any air pockets
Bake for 30- 35 minutes, or till toothpick inserted in center comes clean
Cool in pan for 15-20 minutes for cake to cool before inverting onto a plate

Notes

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. Measuring cup used is standard American measuring cup in which one cup is 250 ml and 1 tsp is 5 ml. I have used a 7 inch round pan. You can use smaller or bigger size-baking times will vary. Start checking cake at 30 minutes. I used Gits Gulab Jamun Mix, a pack of 100 gms/3.5 oz. After using 3/4 cup of the mix a little bit of the mix will be left.
