Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (for soak)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rose water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground green cardamom
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios (for garnish)
  • Edible rose petals (small handful, optional)
  • 1 cup lightly sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch pan with butter and dust with flour or line with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  3. Beat softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Add dry ingredients in three additions alternating with whole milk in two additions, beginning and ending with flour. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes, then poke holes evenly all over the surface using a fork or skewer.
  10. Whisk together whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, rose water, and ground cardamom.
  11. Slowly pour milk mixture over warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  13. Before serving, spread whipped cream on top, sprinkle chopped pistachios, and scatter edible rose petals.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. Poke holes evenly to ensure milk soak penetrates deeply. Refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor and moistness. If cake feels too wet, refrigerate uncovered to evaporate excess moisture. Freshly ground cardamom preferred for brighter flavor. Rose water can be substituted with orange blossom water if unavailable.
