MAWA CAKE( India)
Mawa cakes are milk based cakes with a touch of cardamom and nuts like almonds or cashews. The Mawa is solidified milk obtained through the process of cooking the milk very slowly so that the liquid evaporates. This cake is especially traditional in Mumbai where the now fast disappearing Irani cafes that populated the city once would serve it. Those cafes could not survive the new fast food chains and new age restaurants, but their cakes still remain as one of the favourite treats for Mumbaikars or those visiting it.
MOCHI( Japan)
The Mochi is a traditional Japanese cake made of rice paste that is usually prepared on New Year’ s Eve, although it can be found throughout the year in different varieties, such as, ice creams or even soups. Given the fact that the rice paste is easily moulded and can be combined with a wide range of ingredients, an unlimited variety of Mochi cakes can be
found in all corners of the country.

The Pavlova is cooked in many different ways, usually being garnished with fruits, mostly kiwis and strawberries. The addition of corn flour to the traditional meringue ingredients allows the cake to have a crisp shell that covers a marshmallow-like centre.
