Cake Rusk is a popular snack in South Asian countries, especially in Pakistan and India. This crispy and crunchy biscuit-like snack is made by twice-baking a cake. The first bake is a regular baking, which forms a cake, and the second bake is a slow and low baking until the cake gets crisp and dry. The cake is cut into small shapes and is perfect for dipping into tea or coffee. The sweet and aromatic flavour of cardamom used in the recipe is what makes Cake Rusk a unique and exotic treat.

Instructions

1.In a bowl, dissolve yeast in water and sugar, let it proof for 10 minutes.
2.In a separate bowl, make a mixture of flour and salt. Add cooking oil and mix well.
3.Mix the yeast mixture and the flour mixture and knead well.
4.Add eggs, sugar, and cardamom seeds and knead again.
5.In a greased baking dish, pour the dough and let it rise for 2 hours.
6.Preheat oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
7.Let it cool down for 10 to 15 minutes and cut into desired shapes.
8.Bake again at 200°F (95°C) for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool and store.
