Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
• ½ cup plain dry bread crumbs
• 1 cup butter, divided, softened
• 2 tablespoons pearl sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with 1/4 cup butter and dust with bread crumbs.

Step 3

Mix 3/4 cup butter, flour, sugar, milk, cardamom, and baking powder together lightly in a bowl to form a moderately stiff and lumpy dough; transfer dough to the prepared tube pan. Sprinkle cinnamon and pearl sugar over the top of the dough, respectively.
