Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
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.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the vanilla extract and gradually incorporate the milk and butter mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 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 the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
