In the mood for a "breakfast" sweet but not too sweet treat? This is a really delicious orange- scented and spiced cake, perfect friend to a good strong coffee.
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
In a medium bowl, combine:
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. ground cardamom
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
In a medium bowl, combine:
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp salt
In a smaller bowl, mix:
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. orange juice
1/2 c. melted butter (1 stick)
vanilla or almond extract, just a hint
Pour the liquid into the dry and combine but don't over mix. It will be a fairly dense batter. Place this into a buttered or "pam-etized" pie plate sized cake pan. Bake for 25 min. Do not over bake! It will be a dense and moist cake.
I made a mascarpone and cream cheese icing with orange zest, only because I had these in the fridge. Decadent for sure. An orange juice and icing sugar glaze would be really good too. Get the zest in where you can.
I love the cardamom aroma in the kitchen in the morning, and serve this warm, it is really great!
