Ingredients

10 whole cloves, ground
10 cardamom seeds, ground
2 teaspoon nutmeg powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
10 egg yolks
4 egg whites
125 g castor sugar
195 g sweetened condensed milk
500 g butter
125 g cake flour

Directions

Mix and sift cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Beat butter until smooth and creamy.
Whip egg yolks with sugar until fluffy.
Whip egg whites in separate mixing bowl until fluffy, then mix with egg yolks.
Combine the spices, condensed milk, flour, and butter.
Grease a cake pan.
Using a small cup, spread 30–35 ml batter into the pan to make a layer.
Bake in preheated 350°F oven, heated from the top, until golden (4–5 minutes).
Remove from oven, brush with butter for flavoring, and top with another 30–35 ml batter to make another layer.
Repeat the baking and layering to make around 30–40 layers.

Notes

Adding to the complexity of the baking process, some cake shops add dried plums (prunes) inside and on top of the cake.
