    Baking powder – 2.5 tsp

2. Sugar – 1 cup

   Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp

   Lemon juice – 1/2 tsp

5. Cashews and raisins – 2 tbsp each, optional

6. Sliced almonds or sliced cashews – 1/4 cup, optional (to decorate)

 

Method

1. Sift all purpose flour and baking powder and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 inch round cake pan with parchment paper OR grease with butter and then dust with flour. Set aside.

2. In a blender / mixie grind sugar and eggs for about 20 – 30 seconds until frothy. Add in 6 cardamom, nutmeg powder (if using) and grind again for about 15 – 20 seconds until cardamom is crushed. Transfer this to a large bowl. Next add oil, milk, vanilla essence and lemon juice. Whisk well or use a spatula to mix everything. Now add sifted all purpose flour and baking powder little by little and mix well to combine. Finally stir in the nuts and raisins (if using). Pour this batter into the prepared 9 inch cake pan. Sprinkle sliced almonds/cashews. Bake for about 27 – 30 minutes or until done and a skewer inserted into the center comes clean. Take it out, run a knife along the edges and invert onto a plate after 10 minutes. Cool completely and cut into pieces. It keeps well at room temperature for a few days. For longer shelf life, store left-overs in the fridge. It’s easy to make and so yum. Enjoy!

Cardamom Cake

Tips

Instead of a blender you can use hand-mixer or even a whisk. In that case, use crushed cardamom or 3/4 – 1 tsp freshly ground cardamom powder.
