Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F and grease cake pan.
Step 2
In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, whip the butter for 3 to 4 minutes until creamy. Then add the sugar and continue whipping until light and fluffy. Make sure the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated by scraping the bottom of the bowl periodically.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time and mix until fully incorporated, continuing to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 4
Combine the dry ingredients, including the Khoya.
Step 5
Combine kewra water, heavy cream, and milk. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and wet ingredients slowly into the stand mixer. Continue to scrape down sides of the bowl until all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 6
Pour mixture into greased cake pan. Sprinkle with pistachios. Bake at 325°F for 30 to 45 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Once removed from oven, poke a few holes in the cakes with a toothpick and drizzle with heavy cream. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
