Cream butter and sugar well. Add eggs and cream some more. Add milk and mix.
Sift dry ingredients and mix in the dough. Bake in a greased pan of your choice at 180 ºC for 30 minutes.
As soon as it comes out of the oven make a syrup by combining the following and bringing to the boil:-

• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1 teaspoon cardamom
• 1 teaspoon rose water

Pour syrup over the cake whilst it’s still hot.
Lovely and simple.
Delicious with a cup of tea or coffee.
