Whisk the eggs using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.Add in your sugar and cardamon powder and beat until thrice its original volume and stiff peaks form.Have some patience as this takes the longest.About 15 minutes.

Sieve your flour and baking powder and add it into the egg mixture in portions.Fold it gently into the mixture using a hand whisk making sure not to delfate the air bubbles formed when beating the eggs.

Make sure everything is well combinned then pour it into an 8 inch greased and floured pan.I used a sufuria in my case.Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 40 minute or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

I added some raisins before baking it for decorative purposes so that is totally optional.Once ready let it cool and serve with some hot milk tea.I like dipping my mkate wa mayai in the tea so that it soaks up the tea.They go very well together.Enjoy this simple and no fail recipe.
