    I added a pinch of cardamom to the batter, and it was delicious!

  • Keegan Hammes

    The 5-minute beating step is key! Don't skip it! My first attempt was a bit dense because I rushed that part.

  • Jaclyn Cruickshank

    This cake is perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. It's not too sweet, which is exactly what I was looking for.
