Add your spices and your sugar and cook for another five minutes or until everything come together like a soft paste. Set aside to cool down before mixing it with the cake.

Cake

  • 560 Grams Soft unsalted butter
  • 6 L Eggs

  • Mix in the dry ingredients in separate bowl, then add it with butter, sugar and egg mix. Once everything has incorporated fold in the milk.
