Ingredients
- 4 leaves Betel
- 1&1/4 cup All purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Gulkand
- 1 tsp Sauf/fennel seeds
- 2 tbsp Pistachios
Instructions
- The first step is you have to Preheat the oven to 180°C (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Make a 7-inch cake pan by greasing and lining it.
- Make little chunks out of the betel leaves.
- Just have a little water to make a paste out of it.
- Remove the extract by pouring it into a sieve.
- Add this extract to the milk you've set aside to make the cake. Mix in the appropriate amount of food color.
- In a bowl, beat butter and sugar together until smooth.
- Mix in the eggs until well mixed.
- Add cumin seeds and gulkand, and mix until combined.
- Combine all the dry ingredients like flour and baking powder in a different container and taste for salt.
- For the egg and milk mixture bowl, add the filtered milk and flour mixture one at a time.
- First, add a small portion of milk. Then add the flour. Continue adding interlacing until everything is well combined.
- Ensure that the batter is smooth and properly mixed.
- Pour the baking pan with this mixture.
- Garnish with sliced pistachios.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake is fully cooked.
- After baking is complete, let the cake cool for a few minutes.
- Then, using a wire rack, flip it over.
- Once it's at room temperature, cut and serve.
Notes
- The cake is a bit sweet. If you want the tea cake to be less sweet, I would say you can reduce the sugar by a few teaspoons. Don't drop too much. This will have an impact on the cake's texture.
- I didn't have any betel nuts on hand, but if you do, use one tsp. Increases the amount of flour in the cake.
- Green food coloring gives a lovely green color. If you omit it, the betel leaves will not become green.
