APPLE CARDAMOM CAKE



Apple Cardamom Cake image

Ready for a fresh fall dessert that's rooted in tradition? Pick this recipe for a simple scratch cake that might remind you of something Grandma used to make. Similar to a pound cake but with fragrant, sweet cardamom cutting through its rich buttery crumb. Sliced apples strewn across the top melt into the cake just slightly during baking for a pretty look that only needs a dusting of powdered sugar to be complete. The end result is an apple dessert that's not too sweet but incredibly flavorful. It's as perfect with a steaming cup of coffee at breakfast time as it is mounded with whipped cream after dinner. And since it's ready to serve in just over an hour, it's totally weeknight friendly!

ALMOND CAKE WITH CARDAMOM AND PISTACHIO



Almond Cake With Cardamom and Pistachio image

This moist and springy Persian almond cake is generously spiced with ground cardamom (two full teaspoons). We like it with fresh berries. If you want to serve it for Passover, be sure to use kosher for Passover confectioners' sugar; you could also use a tablespoon of matzo meal in place of the tablespoon of almond flour, but the cake is delicious without it.
