Time 2h45m

Yield 39

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ΒΌ cups white sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cardamom, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Beat sugar, shortening, and milk together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt together in a bowl. Add to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing after each addition until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Cut cake into three 3-inch strips lengthwise and thirteen 1-inch strips crosswise for a total of 39 pieces. Lay pieces on their sides on 2 cookie sheets. Sprinkle the top sides of the cookies with 1/2 of the cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake rusks in the 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip rusks, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 more minutes.

These rusks are a bit too sweet for my taste. I reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe by half and they turned out perfect.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almonds with chopped walnuts. The rusks still turned out great! I love the combination of walnuts and cardamom.

I'm not a big fan of cardamom, so I omitted it from the recipe. The rusks still turned out great! They are still very flavorful, even without the cardamom.
