Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2½ tsp baking powder
- 6–7 The Curried Spirits Green Cardamom Pods, freshly ground
- 1 cup sugar
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup oil
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Prep the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch round or 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, or grease with butter and dust lightly with flour.
- Blend the base: In a blender, combine sugar and eggs. Blend for 20–30 seconds until frothy. Add the freshly ground The Curried Spirits Cardamom and blend briefly again. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in the dry mix: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 27–30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
