What is a Cardamom Cake?
A cardamom cake is a type of cake that is made from a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder and cardamom. This recipe was developed in the 1800s in Indian subcontinent. The cake is fluffy and aromatic, with a delicate flavor that provides a nice complimentary dish to coffee or tea.

3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 cup whole milk

7 large eggs
3 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
4 tablespoons butter, melted
How To Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line the bottom of two 9-inch cake pans. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour and the baking powder. Set aside. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat 1 stick of the butter and 2 cups of sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined, then add one teaspoon of cardamom, followed by half of the flour mixture (reserving 3/4 cup for later).
Beat in milk and cardamom and vanilla extract until combined with batter.In another medium bowl, combine reserved flour with remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, remaining 1/2 stick of butter and the baking powder. Add flour mixture to batter in two additions until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes. Cool cake in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack before frosting.
For the frosting: In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat together 2 sticks of softened butter, 4 cups of confectioners’ sugar and 1 teaspoon of cardamom until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 teaspoons Kahlua or coffee liqueur for a coffee cake or 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract for a mint chocolate chip lover’s cake. Spread frosting evenly over cooled cake. Garnish with a few crushed nuts.For Layering Cake:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the layers on a rack in an 8×8-inch (2.5 L) square baking dish, making sure they are spaced out well from each other to allow for spreading.
Bake for about 12 minutes until cakes are set and just turning golden. Let completely cool before you can frost with your favorite buttercream icing combination.
