Instructions :

Make cardamom cake

• Using the hand held electric beater, beat egg yolks for about 2 minutes, until thick. Add sugar in 3 batches and continue to beat for about 4 more minutes, until thick and falls back as ribbons when beater is lifted. Add milk and beat for a few seconds, until mixed well.
• Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in flour mixture in 2 additions.
• Then, fold in beaten egg whites in 3 additions. (be gentle while folding the whites we don't want to loose all that air).

Soak cake with saffron milk
• When cake has cooled completely, poke holes all over the cake with a toothpick (this will help in the milk seeping into the cake and make it ultra moist).
• Gently pour saffron milk, all over the cake making sure it is even (else, the cake some part of the cake might be dry when another part is dripping with too much milk).
• Cover pan with a foil or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for about 8 hours or overnight.
