Cardamom Cake

Classic Swedish Cardamom Cake - Scandinavian Cookbook

Ingredients:

7 tbsp butter (room temperature)

1 1/4 cups sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup + 2 tbsp milk

1/2 tbsp ground cardamom

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

For Decoration:

Powdered Sugar

        This delightful sugary spice cake is the perfect companion for tea and is incredibly easy to make. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven warms up, cream together the sugar and room temperature butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. Next, blend in the milk and eggs until the batter is smooth.

        Once combined, sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until no lumps remain. To prevent the cake from sticking, line a 9-inch pan with parchment paper before pouring in the batter.

        Bake the cake for 40 minutes, then let it cool for an additional 20 minutes. Finally, use a sift to dust powdered sugar over the top. I enjoyed it with milk this time, but I’m excited to make this my go-to snack for tea in the future!
