Shelf life of sweets count when they are made in large scale, especially during festivals for distribution among friends. Seven cup cake has a shelf life of up to 10 days, in room temperature.

Since sweets are an important part of hospitality, ingredients are carefully chosen, so that it is a hit among the guests. One need not wait till an event and can serve it with hot beverages when a friend or relative visits you.

There cannot be a better name for a sweet, which reminds the entire recipe in a jiffy. Since we need seven cups of something, let’s give a cup each of besan, ghee, coconut and milk. Now that four cups are done, three cups of sugar completes the math. If it is too sweet, make it two cups instead of three. Except for coconut, the entire process reminds Mysur pa. Unlike Mysur pa, dry fruits are also added to this cake.

Barfi or Indian cake is of Urdu origin, made with besan or gram flour, cashew, pista or perhaps peanuts. Almond, carrot, coconut and walnuts are other patterns of barfi. The other ingredients are milk and sugar. This sweet finds its place in the Diwali buffet.
