Vanilla Cake in a Long Pan

- 2.8 liters (12 cups) all-purpose flour
- 375 milliliters (210g or 7.5 oz) soft butter
- 1.4 liters (6 cups) milk
- 450 grams (1.75 cups) granulated sugar
- 10 grams (2 teaspoons) active dry yeast (instant yeast)
- 6 grams (1 teaspoon) ground cardamom
- 3 grams (½ teaspoon) salt
- 1 egg, for egg wash
- Pink decorative glaze or sugar, for garnish
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C. Take a long pan, roughly 13 x 9 inches in size, grease it well, and set it aside for later use.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 packet of yeast, approximately 2 1/4 cups or 285g of flour, 1 cup or 200g of sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup or 235ml of milk and 1/2 cup or 115g of soft butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl and mix until a smooth batter forms.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure to smooth the top evenly.
6. Let the mixture rest for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
7. Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly.
9. Gently brush the top of the cake with an egg wash and sprinkle with pink decorative glaze or sugar to give it a nice finish.
10. Serve the cake warm and enjoy!
