I have been baking a lot lately and today I am again posting a baking recipe. It is Honey Cardamom Cake. Two days back, there was a sudden invitation from a friend for lunch. So baked this cake to take with me. I wanted to bake a snack cake without frosting and was browsing for recipe, and when I came across this one, I was sure this is the one. The cake did not disappoint me. It came out really well- soft and delicious. Everyone loved this cake and I got lot of appreciations for it. Here I am today sharing this recipe with you. If you love the flavor of honey and the aroma of cardamom, then this cake will definitely win your heart.

| Honey Cardamom Cake |
What are the ingredients needed?
All Purpose Flour, 2 1/2 cups
Baking powder, 2 teaspoon
Baking Soda, 2 teaspoon
Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
Cardamom, 7-8 nos (powdered with a tablespoon of Sugar)
Butter, 1/2 cup
Light Brown Sugar, 1/4 cup
Eggs, 2 nos.
Honey, 1 cup
Warm water, 3/4 cup
Tutti frutti (candied papaya) , 1/4 cup(optional)
Walnuts, handful (optional)
How it is made?
- Pre heat the oven to 350 F. Apply oil and sprinkle flour on the cake pan. (you can use a bundt cake or 9*13 pan or two 8"/9" round pans).
- In a bowl combine together all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and powdered cardamom and keep it aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk butter and sugar together. Then add eggs one by one and mix well.
- Then add honey and mix well.
- To this mixture, add flour mixture and warm water little by little and mix well.
- To the prepared cake pan sprinkle tutti frutti and nuts on the bottom and then pour the cake batter.
- Bake till the cake is done. The baking time varies with the type of pan used. I baked in two 9" round pan and it took around 25 minutes for me.
- Let the cake cool, then remove it from the pan, slice and serve.
Notes:
- Adding Tutti frutti and walnut is totally optional. You can use any other dry fruit/ nut or just can skip it.
- If you want you can dust with confectioner's sugar, before serving the cake. I didn't do it though.
- While baking the cake formed a dome, so I just levelled it off and turned upside down to display the tutti frutti side.
- Baking time varies with the type of pan. for 9" round pan it took around 25 minutes, for 9*13 it will take around 40 minutes.
I am planning to try some cake like this. I am sure you would have enjoyed the aroma that spreads to the kitchen while baking. Cake came out super well.
