📝 Instructions

9 steps
1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.

2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and pour in the milk. Set aside to cool slightly.

3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, and salt.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the vanilla extract and gradually incorporate the milk and butter mixture, whisking constantly.

5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.

6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8

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.

9

Once the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
