an EASY sweet milky cake that's great for entertaining
Equipment
- 1 13*9 cake pan
Ingredients
The Cake
- 1 White Cake Mix Box (& ingredients on the box)
- 5-6 cardamom pod seeds coarsely pounded or 1 tsp cardamom powder
Three Milk Mix
- 1 cup condensed milk (sweetened)
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ tsp cardamom powder
- 2 drops rosewater
Whipped Cream Topping (for Jars)
- 1 ¼ cup whipping cream
- 3 tbsp sugar
Garnishing ideas
- chopped pistachios and/or almonds, dried rose petals
Instructions
The Cake
- Prepare cake batter according to package directions with the cardamom added in.
- Bake according to the instructions on the box and let the cake come to room temperature
Three Milk Mix
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl or a large meausring cup if you have one
Whipped Cream
- Whip the cream on medium speed and when it starts to thicken add the sugar
- Whip until stiff peaks form
Assembly
- Cut your cake into even pieces. For my 150 ml jars I made roughly 18 and then crumbled the cake into the jars. (see notes)
- Put 3 tbsp of the milk mix in each jar (again for the size above)
- Top with a swirl of whipped cream and nuts. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, 4 is better.
Notes
- Jars can vary by size. Simply take out what you are using and fill it with crumbled cake. Once you have a sense of how much cake goes in your jar you can assess how many yours will make. The milk mix is 3 cups or 48 tbsp and you can then divide it equally among your cups
- For a 13*9 size bake the cake, poke holes in it with the back of a wooden spoon, pour over the milk mix then frost with a whipped cream mix that is 2 cups whipped cream plus 5 tbsp sugar.
