Cardamom Cake
A traditional Kerala sweet that balances richness with restraint. Made with jaggery, coconut, and a careful hand, the sweetness is warm rather than overwhelming — the kind of flavour that lingers.

- 1/4 cup Vanilla flavored custard powder
- 1 cup Sugar — powdered

Now using the hand mixer beat all the ingredients well at low speed for one minute and then at medium speed for a few minutes till the batter color changes to a lighter shade. Scrape down the sides of the bowl while beating.Do not over beat. 4)Now sprinkle the caraway seeds and fold it into the batter. Pour it into a greased ring mold. 5)Bake in a preheated moderate oven(180 degrees) for almost 35 minutes, or till done and springy when touched.The top may crack a bit. But do not worry.You will get a Light textured cake of unusual flavor. You may frost this cake using the simple CARDAMOM GLAZE ICING 6)Turn out the cake while still warm onto a cake stand. 7)Take one cup of very finely powdered sifted sugar or icing sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder.Add 1 drop of vanilla essence and one tsp of softened butter and 2 table spoons of boiling water.Beat well to get a smooth glaze. Pour it immediately over the warm cake. Let the glaze drip down.
Tip
Hard-boil the eggs first, then make shallow cuts on the surface before adding them to the gravy — this lets the masala flavour penetrate inside.
