What is Cake Rusk?
Cake Rusk is a yummy snack we tried for the first time in the U.S. We usually have regular rusk in India, which isn’t as tasty. Cake Rusk is a cake that is baked twice to make it crispy. We loved it so much that we started buying it often. Then I thought, why not make it at home?
How to Make Cake Rusk Recipe
Making Cake Rusk is easy and fun. Instead of using vanilla essence, I used cardamom to give it an Indian flavor. Let’s make this tasty snack together!
Ingredients:
- All Purpose Flour : 1 cup
- Eggs : 2 (at room temperature)
- Butter : 1/2 cup (at room temperature)
- Baking Powder : 1 teaspoon
- Sugar : 1/2 cup
- Cardamom : 1 or 2 pods
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a cake pan and set it aside.
- Crush the cardamom pods with some sugar in a mixer. Mix this with the rest of the sugar.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy. Add the eggs and mix well.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture. Mix gently with a spatula until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely. Then, slice it into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Arrange the slices on a baking tray. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
- Bake the cake slices for 12 minutes. Flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Watch the slices while they bake to avoid overbrowning. The rusk will be a little soft when you take it out of the oven but will become crispy as it cools.
- Enjoy your crispy Cake Rusk with a cup of hot tea!
