Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 165g plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Wet Ingredients

  • 100g soft butter
  • 150g icing sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon rose essence

Instructions

  1. Beat Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and icing sugar together until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  2. Add Eggs: Crack in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter becomes fluffy and light.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the plain flour, baking powder, and ground cardamom to ensure even distribution.
  4. Mix Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, beating until just combined without overmixing.
  5. Add Milk and Essence: Pour in the milk and rose essence, then beat the batter once more until smooth and homogeneous.
  6. Prepare Mini Loaf Pan: Lightly spray an 8 mini loaf pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini loaf pan sections. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the mini loaves to cool completely in the pan before removing them and adding icing or serving as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened for easier mixing and a creamier texture.
  • Do not overbeat once the flour is added to prevent dense loaves.
  • Use fresh ground cardamom for the best aroma.
  • Rose essence quantity can be adjusted to taste but avoid overusing as it may overpower other flavors.
  • Mini loaf pans yield approximately 8 loaves; adjust baking time slightly if using different pan sizes.
