Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 150 grams Sugar
- 80 milliliters Neutral flavored oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cardamom. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar-oil mixture, whisking well after each addition to ensure a smooth and homogenous mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with almond milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, slice the cake into 1/2 inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).
Bake the slices for an additional 15-20 minutes on each side, or until the rusks are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the cake rusks to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
