Cardamom Coffee Cake

I was intrigued by the cardamom coffee cake.  Also, Adam is a coffee cake fanatic.  Denise's post was really helpful.  I had green Cardamom pods (which I use in a favorite Indian Dish).  I opened those and took out the seeds.  I then crushed the seeds with my morter and pestle.  They were very fragrant.  I was a little afraid to use a whole Tablespoon (or 2, I cannot remember what it called for).  Because Denise said hers was not very flavorful I added the full amount.  Also, I added a whole Tablespoon more cinnamon.  We thought the coffee cake was delicious.  We definitely liked the cardamom flavor.  Adam could not believe how much cake it made.  If I ever have a brunch I will include this in the spread.

  1. Glad to hear about the changes you made. I'm starting to realize that I like more spice in my foods than Molly does. I'll have to keep this in mind for future recipes.
