Ingredients
Sponge
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Milk mixture
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 cup whole milk or half and half
- 1/2 can condensed milk
- 1 pinch saffron
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 5 green cardamoms
Cream topping
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tbsp condensed milk or 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Garnish
- almonds and pistachios
Instructions
- In a bowl add 6 room temperature eggs and start whisking, then add 1 cup of sugar slowly and keep whisking on high speed until it doubles in size. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer.
- Now in another bowl add all purpose flour and baking powder and mix it well.
- Add half of the flour mixture to the eggs through a sieve and gently mix it with clockwise rotations. Once it's well combined, add the remaining flour mixture and mix again with gentle clockwise motions. Making sure there are no lumps or flour sitting at the bottom.
- Line a baking tray 9x13 or two 9 inch round trays preferably and pour the batter in it. I didn't have a rectangle tray so I used what I had on hand.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C and bake it for 30-35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool down completely, then take it out to remove the parchment paper lining. Set this cake into a serving tray.
- In a pan add 1 can of evaporated milk, 1.5 cups of regular milk and 4 oz or half a can of condensed milk. In this milk mixture, add few strands of saffron, green cardamom and cinnamon stick. Bring this to a rolling boil but no need to boil it.
- Let it cool down to room temperature while you use a fork and poke holes all over the cake. Drizzle this milk on top of the cake evenly and let it rest.
- While you go head and whisk 1.5 cups of heavy cream with 2 tbsp of condensed milk until it forms stiff beaks.
- Once all of the milk mixture is absorbed by the cake, add a layer of the whipping cream on top of it.
- Garnish with almonds and pistachios.It's ready to enjoy
