- Sri Lankan Love Cake cannot get more authentic than this. This is a recipe from the Burgher community in Sri Lanka that so decadent yet not commonly made because it is hard to find. Now you can make it for your next celebration or edible gift and win the hearts of many!
Adapted from Charmaine Solomon's Love Cake recipe (1998). I have changed the quantities and added Ash Pumpkin Preserves/Puhul Dosi to suit my preference.
NOTE: This recipe does not contain butter.
Toothpick test does not work for this recipe.
The center of the cake will be soft and a little gooey.
Cut 1.5 inches sized pieces.
Taste and texture and flavor keeps improving and is best after 2 days.
Use fine semolina (only wheat semolina).
Do not roast the semolina.
Ingredients:
7 eggs separated
500g caster sugar
250g fine semolina (wheat)
375g raw cashews finely chopped
125g Ash Gourd Preserve (Puhul Dosi/Dry Petha/candied winter melon) finely chopped
4 Tablespoons rose water
3 Tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon almond essence
Method:
Line a quarter sheet-pan with raised edge (13L x 9.6W x 1.13H) with 2 x sheets of greased parchment paper. Set aside.
Separate the eggs in to yolks and whites.
Whisk egg whites until stiff and set aside.
Beat yolks and sugar until creamy.
Except the whisked egg whites, add all the ingredients and mix until evenly combined.
Finally fold in the whisked egg whites.
Pour into prepared pan.
Bake at 300F/150C preheated oven for 1 hour (and additional 5 or 10 mins if needed).
Cool completely in the same pan before taking it out or cutting.
very nicely done looks great 👍
Thank you so much !
Hey friend ❤
Hello sister. Long time no see. Love cake?? Count me in. 7 egg yolks.. This cake looks rich and delicious and would be the perfect snack or end to any meal. I like the addition of rose water. I see why it's called a love cake.. Loving it is inevitable!!!! Thanks so much for sharing. HAPPY HOLIDAYS 🎄🎄🥳🥳🤶🏽🤶🏽❄❄🎉🎉🎅🏽🎅🏽Sandee
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Sandee! Yes it is a beloved Sri Lankan cake. We make it for special occasions but enjoy it any day of the year 😀. Will be searching your recipes for tips this season. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Oooo I can totally fall in love with your love cake yummm ❤ Reminds me to make one this holiday season 😊 Thanks for sharing my dear 😍
@Gloriasplatter, hehe! Thank you, dearest. You should absolutely make some this season! ❤️
Hello, Just came across your profile. Thank you for the detailed recipe. I saw your other love cake recipe without pool dosi. so, what's the difference between these two cakes? why with pool dosi?
Hello back! Thanks for checking out the two videos. The Love Cake with puhul dosi is a variation that seems to be preferred by the masses. The dosi adds a bit more texture and sweetness. The one without puhul dosi is less sweet 🙂
Please send the recipe.
Check description ❤
What a beautiful cake! Where would you find that type of pumpkin preserve? Is there any substitute or DIY from fresh/canned etc?
Thank you! It is called 'Dry Petha' and can be found in any Indian grocery store for around $3 or less. ❤️
@@AasaiRasaiRecipes Thank you!!
Can you post a recipe for the white Sri Lankan curry with boiled eggs and green chilies in it? My neighbor used to make it and I love it but she moved and idk what it’s called😢
Hi @sarahrivera4865 👋, the recipe is already posted on this channel. Search for Egg Curry. ❤️

I shared the link to your egg curry ❤
Thanks for jumping in, my friend.
I wish u could speak during the clip. Now I can't watch while I'm folding my clothes. Anyway, TKS 4 a another trustworthy recipe.
Oops! Sorry dear. I don't get to speak on the videos sometimes. I hope you will find the printable recipe and tips in the description below. Happy baking! x
Thank you so much for the recipe. Is there a reason there is no butter.
You are very welcome! It could be because the 7 egg yolks have enough fat 🙂.
This one was very difficult to get my head round, cannot imagine a cake without butter!!!! Thank you for the response @@AasaiRasaiRecipes
I know!! I felt the same when I first saw the recipe, but it is amazing! Try it 🙂
Is this cake not dry without butter thanks for the recipe
Not at all. It is authentic love cake . There is enough fat in the egg yolks so butter is not needed.
What can we use as an alternative for ash Pumpkin preserves? I am in abroad and unable to find it
I use crystallized or candied pineqpple. If you can't find the also then leave it out and increase the other fruits to replace the equivalent quantity.
Thanks fo your love
You are more than welcome! ❤️🙂
