Crinkle Cake Recipe – Flaky Phyllo Dessert with Syrup

Ingredients

Here is everything you will need to create this delightful Crinkle Cake.

For the Cake

• 1 (1 lb) box phyllo dough, thawed
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

For the Syrup

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish generously with butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cake does not stick.

2. Layer the Phyllo Dough

Unroll the thawed phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Place one sheet of phyllo dough in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, allowing the edges to hang over the sides. Brush the sheet generously with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering the phyllo sheets one by one and brushing each with butter, until you have used half of the phyllo dough.

3. Prepare the Cake Batter

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cardamom until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

4. Pour the Batter

Pour the prepared cake batter evenly over the layered phyllo dough in the baking dish, spreading it gently to ensure it reaches all corners.
