Add 1/2 cup of sugar (brown sugar is preferable, but granulated is used here).

Add a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom to the bowl.

Add about 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the bowl.

Mix well until the mixture reaches a moist consistency; if it's too dry, add a few tablespoons of water or milk.

Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula or spoon.

Pre-cut the mixture into portions in the baking dish.

Bake for 1 hour until the top is firm and golden brown.

Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
