- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (69.4 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 15 g Butter, unsalted
- 12 g Sugar
- 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 15 g Flour, all-purpose
- 6 g Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.3 g Cinnamon
- 0.2 g Cardamom
- 0.4 g Baking powder
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract
- 0.2 g Salt
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply by 16 for a whole layer cake. Cream the butter and sugar until light, then beat in the egg and condensed milk.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cardamom, and fold in with the vanilla and salt to a smooth, thick batter.
- Spread a very thin layer of the batter in a lined tin and grill or broil close to the heat for 2-3 minutes until just set and lightly browned.
- Spread another thin layer of batter directly over the first and grill again; repeat, layer by layer, until all the batter is used, about 8-10 layers.
- Once the final layer is baked, unmold, cool completely, then wrap and rest a few hours before slicing so the layers set firmly.
