Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 100g soft butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon rose essence
Dry Ingredients
- 150g icing sugar
- 165g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the soft butter and icing sugar together until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter becomes fluffy and light.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the plain flour and baking powder, then add them to the wet mixture and beat until just combined.
- Add Flavorings and Milk: Pour in the milk, rose essence, and ground cardamom, then beat the batter until everything is thoroughly mixed and smooth.
- Fill the Pan: Spray a mini loaf or mini muffin pan (about 8 loaves) with non-stick spray, then spoon the batter evenly into the pan cavities.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the mini loaves for approximately 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mini loaves to cool completely in the pan before removing them. They can be iced as desired or enjoyed plain.
Notes
- Ensure softened butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Be careful not to overmix once the flour is added to avoid dense loaves.
- Mini loaf pans yield small, perfectly portioned cakes; alternatively, use mini muffin pans.
- Allow loaves to cool fully before icing to prevent melting.
- Rose essence can be adjusted or omitted depending on preference.
